An update is that the UK Secretary of State for Defence is now The Rt Hon Michael Fallon MP.
Also we have got 1053 signatures, with lots of Facebook and Twitter shares. That does show many people care about Colonel. I am almost sure in a practical way it will be Mission Impossible, but I think those people deserve to be heard. In the UK a military working dog is personnel, not equipment.
The thought of dog fighting also crossed my mind, LPC. Ironically, the Taliban banned dog fighting as being non Islamic. But unfortunately it has become quite a 'sport' in Afghanistan, with a winning fighting dog being a big money-earner. So it still goes on. But thank you Taliban for trying to ban it (for your own reasons)
I can see Colonel's character. He has a lovely Soul. I hope he holds onto his integrity through whatever might happen. I wish I could get him out of there of course....
Fitas, a French military working-dog made it out of Taliban captivity and was returned to his handler.

The video is in French. My French is not brilliant, so I only understood some of it. The dog looks okay basically, very well except for a sore foot, but I can sense he has experienced things which upset his balance.
