On Friday, President Obama met with the Navy Seals that took down Osama Bin Laden to thank them for a job well done.

He also met a certain four-legged member of the Seals that took out bin Laden, a Belgian Malinois named Cairo.

A specially trained military dog, Cairo hit the ground with the Seals to help alert them to any hidden threats. He’s also the only member of the team to be identified by name.

The Seals were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, the highest honor that can be given to a unit in recognition of their extraordinary service and achievement. Cairo didn’t get an award, but we think he’d prefer a big juicy steak

anyway.
