The Taliban said the dog was taken during a battle a month ago in Laghman province, to the east of the capital, Kabul.

The Ministry of Defence has not issued any comment on the reports, but a spokesperson for ISAF (the International Security Assistance Force) confirmed that a military working dog went missing late last year during a mission.
