(WASHINGTON) — Every dog has his day, just not at the White House.

President Donald Trump tweets that the military working dog injured in the raid last weekend that killed the Islamic State leader will leave the Middle East for the White House sometime next week.

And the president appears to have declassified the dog's name: Conan. That had remained a military secret because of the classified nature of the mission in which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died.
