U.S. President Donald Trump hosted an impromptu ceremony Monday to honor Conan, the military dog who was injured during the raid that resulted in the death of Daesh/ISIS's former chief.

Axar.az reports citing Turkish media.

Trump told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he bestowed Conan, whom he called "the world's most famous dog," with a medal and plaque for his role in the operation that led to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death.

"I think Conan actually knew exactly what was going on," he said, adding that Conan is "very, very special."

"Conan is a tough cookie. Nobody's going to mess with Conan," he added.
