Five years ago, Dalgwan went AWOL from an Army truck on the way to enroll at a recruit training center, only to be taken back a day later. He eventually passed his training and was officially enlisted as a search and rescue dog in the armed forces.

Since news broke of Dalgwan’s heroic act, people have been asking the Defense Ministry for a special promotion and order of merit for the canine.

But authorities said a promotion for Dalgwan would not be feasible, as service dogs are not ranked in the military.

It is absolutely disgusting that a petition to change this is not on the blue house website right now. RANK THESE DOGS. LET THE GOOD DOGGOS RISE TO THE TOP ON THEIR MERIT. Dalgwan needs to be commanding legions of GOODBOYS
