One of Instagram's most popular artist, Ben Hed, also known as @Pet_Foolery, has finally released a comic in which we discover the truth behind Brutus's scars from his military past. Brutus, from the fan-favorite series, 'Pixie and Brutus,' would be described as having a tough exterior but has a warm, doughy, soft spot for the innocent Pixie, and he does all he can to protect that innocence. 

Now that Pixie has grown up some, Brutus finally tells Pixie the story of how he got his scars, and it's intense. Ben Hed had this to say about his most recent comic, "This comic is based on research and experienced sources. It's NOT just something I made up for an edgy story."

*Just a warning before proceeding to view this comic, this comic contains scenes of military combat, violence, and blood. 

A hero that everyone can't help but adore, Kuno, retired British Army Working Dog who served in Afghanistan has received the highest animal honor possible - the Dickin Medal. the award was given to him for his incredible actions and bravery during a 2019 operation against one of Al Qaeda's compounds, which you can read about below. The poor pooch was injured during the operation - both of his legs getting shot, one bullet narrowly missing a main artery, but he is a fighter, and as bravely he fought then, he continues fighting now, brandishing the more than well-deserved medal on his fluffy doggo chest. 

Wowee! New "Pixie and Brutus" comics created by the very talented Pet_Foolery! You can follow his work and the story of Pixie and Brutus on his Instagram handle.

This new installment of everyone's favorite cat and dog duo hits a tad bit harder in the feels than others. 

Still, we can't get enough of this duo and their wholesome relationship. 

Conan, the military-trained dog who was part of the operation that led to the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, joined President Trump and VP Pence in the Rose Garden where he received some commendations (and hopefully some treats).

Meet one of the good-est dogs in the world at the moment! A declassified military K9, who is being labeled as a hero after aiding in the capture, and take down of the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. 

According to Army General and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, the heroic dog's name will not be release for security reasons. The gender of dog is also classified information that will not be revealed. The only information known about the k9 is the breed -- a Belgian Malinois.

Reported by USA Today, it is mentioned that the dog did acquire slight wounds in the massive operation to take down al-Baghdadi. However, our heroic dog has already returned to duty after treatment. 

Rightfully so, military's top officer, and the US President, have both credited the hound's "tremendous service."

"Our canine, I call it a dog, a beautiful dog – a talented dog – was injured and brought back," Trump said.

Thank you, declassified hero! We adore you!

Currently, the Twitterverse is taking a moment to appreciate the Belgian Malinois breed:

A rescue dog that reached "hero status" for its work following the deadly earthquake in Mexico City last year got a peak at the new statue erected in its honor.

During military operations, it can be difficult for soldiers to have a break. But some of them get to find happiness in an unexpected companion – cats that decide to 'adopt' them while they're on duty! Via: The Holidog Times
