Australian army dog bites Afghan child

The Australian Defence Force is investigating an incident in which an Australian military search dog bit an Afghan child.

Defence said the youngster was discovered with a minor laceration when a Special Operations Task Group was searching a compound in Tarin Kowt on March 30.

The search dog entered the compound after civilians who vacated the building had told soldiers no one was still inside.

“The soldiers began a routine compound clearance and found a child, believed to be about five years old, alone inside the compound with a minor laceration,” Defence said in a statement.

An Australian medic provided immediate first aid. Defence said no follow-up treatment would be required.
