Download Theo's Booklet THEO DM 64 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL THEO DM 64 “For outstanding gallantry and devotion to duty while deployed with 104 Military Working Dog (MWD) Squadron during conflict in Afghanistan September 2010 to March 2011.” Date of Award: 25 October 2012 THEO’S STORY On their first tour of duty together, Royal Army Veterinary Corps Arms and Explosive Search Dog Theo, and his handler Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, were the one of the most successful Military Working Dog teams of the whole Afghanistan conflict. Over the course of five months, they made multiple discoveries, 14 in all, saving the lives of many comrades and civilians. Two incidents stood out. On 15 August 2008 while providing ‘forward protection’ for 8 Platoon, The Royal Irish Regiment, Theo detected a ‘daisy-chain (IED)’, Improvised Explosive Device designed to cause multiple explosions and casualties. As the platoon later discovered, the device was newly planted and would have caused significant casualties as their patrol travelled through the location. “THE DEVICE WAS NEWLY PLANTED AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT CASUALTIES ...” Less than a month later, Theo and Liam discovered a similar device while on patrol with 7 Platoon. Once again, significant casualties were avoided thanks to their skill and bravery. Other memorable discoveries included finding fertiliser and parts that could be used for making IEDs as well as unearthing a tunnel that led to a hidden bomb- making factory. In March 2011 while on patrol with the 1st Irish Guards in the Nahri Saraj District in Helmand Province, Liam Tasker was tragically killed by a Taliban sniper’s bullet. Shortly after returning to base, Theo had a seizure and, sadly, died. Springer Spaniel, Theo was posthumously awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal on 25 October 2012. His citation stated: “Without doubt, Theo’s actions and devotion to his duties, while in the throes of conflict, saved many lives.” DM THE PDSA DICKIN MEDAL The close relationship between humans and animals is rarely more profound than in times of conflict. Throughout history, animals have stood alongside humans in action and shown incredible bravery and devotion to duty when confronted with the horrors of war. Our founder, Maria Dickin, CBE, introduced the PDSA Dickin Medal on 2 December 1943, at the height of World War II. A tireless campaigner for animal welfare, Maria Dickin was determined to raise the status of animals in society and improve their care. The Medal was instituted to recognise outstanding acts of gallantry and devotion to duty displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, throughout the world. Regarded worldwide as the animals’ Victoria Cross, the PDSA Dickin Medal is as inspirational and relevant today as it was 75 years ago. It is a fitting tribute to the gallant animals ‘who also served’ and whose remarkable contributions helped save countless lives. The highest honour any animal can receive, the Medal stands as testament to the Diligent, Resolute, Fearless, and Relentless qualities shown by animals in action.
