JOHN WARD
Our hero

A SOLDIER who braved a hail of bullets to save his wounded combat dog is in line for a bravery award.

The SAS sergeant carried the animal over 50 yards of open ground during a gunfight in Afghanistan.

Sources told us the soldier then kept the animal alive during a 20-minute helicopter ride to safety.

The dog came under fire from inside a Taliban compound during a "kill or capture" operation.
