Bravery medals awarded to a collie called Rob that made 20 parachute jumps during the second world war and is credited with frequently saving his human colleagues have sold at auction for a record £140,000.
Rob was strapped into a special harness and calmly followed infantry troops into north Africa and parachuted into Nazi-held Italy with the SAS, with one of his jobs being to stand guard and alert his human comrades of danger by licking their faces.
