'Cannot make this sh*t up’: Battle erupts over gender of military dog Conan

Published



The gender of the military canine who participated in the raid that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi has become a controversial topic since it has been labeled as both a male and female.

Conan, who is a Belgian Malinois and a veteran of more than 50 missions, was presented with a service award and certificate by President Trump on Monday in the Rose Garden. Trump, during his speech, referred to Conan as a male dog. However, later that day, the White House then issued a clarification saying that Conan is, in fact, female, but they then reversed course again.
