Theo (2009–2011) was an English Springer Spaniel who served as a bomb detection dog for the British Army in Afghanistan. His handler, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker from Kirkcaldy, was killed by a Taliban sniper on 1 March 2011; Theo died after suffering a seizure just hours later, at the age of 1 year and 10 months. The pair set a new record for bomb finds during their time on deployment, and Theo was posthumously awarded the Dickin Medal in 2012.
