Bass receives the PDSA Dickin Medal for his life-saving devotion to duty as a Multi-Purpose Canin in the US Marine Special Operation Command (MARSOC).
The PDSA Dickin Medal was instituted in 1943, it recognises animals that display conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty in the field of military conflict.
Bass demonstrated his gallantry on numerous occasions when deployed with his handler, Staff Sergeant Alex Schnell, in MARSOC for six years. His life-saving actions during one particular deployment have earned him this prestigious Medal, making him the 75th recipient since it was first awarded.
The PDSA Animal Awards Programme helps to raise the status of animals in society by celebrating the incredible contribution they make to our lives. We believe, just as Maria Dickin did, that raising the status of animals in society helps improve the care they receive and their welfare.

For hundreds of thousands of pets, PDSA is a lifeline that prevents the unnecessary pain and suffering that may come from their owners being unable to afford veterinary treatment.
The PDSA Order of Merit celebrates extraordinary animals who demonstrate the unique bond between animals and humans - a bond that is PDSA’s mission to protect.
Every day in our Pet Hospitals PDSA vets and nurses protect the special bond between owners and their four-legged friends by providing veterinary care to sick and injured pets.
But none of this would be possible without your support and donations. It’s thanks to your help that we are able to carry out our life-saving work.
