War hero sniffer dog dies....

A heroic military sniffer dog who saved more than 1,000 lives during five tours of duty has died at the age of 13.
Springer spaniel Buster earned a row of campaign medals for his service over the course of five tours of duty to Bosina, Iraq and Afghanistan.
After his glittering service with the RAF, Buster retired in 2011, and died on Thursday evening at the home of his handler, Flight Sergeant Will Barrow, in Lincolnshire.
Over the course of his career, Buster is thought to have saved more than 1,000 lives by sniffing out improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as weapons and other ammunition.
