The dog that accompanied Delta Force soldiers into Syria's Idlib Province to hunt down Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi this weekend was only "slightly wounded" during the raid and is back on duty, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley said on Monday.

"We're not releasing the name of the dog right now. The dog is still in theater," Milley told reporters at the Pentagon, adding that the dog was "slightly wounded and fully recovering."

"We're protecting the dog's identity," Defense Secretary Mark Esper joked.
