This has been found on Snopes as false! Sorry all! :(
I received this in an email and thought I would pass it on to you all. :)

" The K9 above is Brutus, a military K9 at McChord.
He's huge - part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff and tops the
scales at 200 lbs. His handler took the picture. Brutus is running
toward me because he knows I have some Milk Bone treats, so he's
slobbering away! I had to duck around a tree just before he got to me
in case he couldn't stop, but he did. Brutus won the Congressional
Medal of Honor last year from his tour in Iraq . His handler and four
other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents. Brutus and his handler
communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant
'go away but come back and find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention to
Brutus. He came back later and quietly tore the throat out of one guard
at one door and another guard at another door. He then jumped against
one of the doors repeatedly (the guys were being held in an old
warehouse) until it opened. He went in and untied his handler and they
all escaped. He's the first K9 to receive this honor. If he knows
you're ok, he's a big old lug and wants to sit in your lap. Enjoys the
company of cats.

Talk about animal intelligence and bonding with humans!"
