Dozens of people are posting tributes to Diesel, the police dog killed during a French anti-terror raid.

The seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd died after a female suicide bomber detonated her device after firing on officers in St-Denis as they stormed the hide-out of Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27.

One police handler called Diesel’s death ‘like losing one of our colleagues’.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- A Texas man has found viral fame not just for the unusual train-like trailers on his tractor, but for the dogs he takes for rides.

Eugene Bostick, 80, has become well known to residents of his Fort Worth neighborhood for the daily drives he takes in his tractor with a "train" of homemade plastic barrel trailers that each contain one of the rescue dogs he and his brother have adopted.

"One day I was out and I seen this guy with a tractor who attached these carts to pull rocks. I thought, 'Dang, that would do for a dog train.' I'm a pretty good welder, so I took these plastic barrels with holes cut in them, and put wheels under them and tied them together," Bostick told The Dodo.

Bostick rose to viral fame with pictures and videos of his dog train posted on social media.
