Pyeonghwa is the world's first [anti-suicide bomber dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canine-unit) who was trained in Korea and donated by [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-ballie-ai). The dog will be serving with UK troops over in Iraq.

The three-year-old golden Labrador is [trained to detect suspicious human behavior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assistance-dogs1), including gestures and facial expressions that might indicate a potential suicide bomber. The dog then discreetly signals her handler to take the person out.

**Implications** - Pyeonghwa's name means peace, in hopes that she will have the power to stop suicide bombers. Her mission will start in just a few weeks in Northern Iraq and hopefully everything goes well! It is amazing how dogs can be trained to do so many things that even humans may have a hard time doing.
