The Conan the al-Baghdadi Raid Dog meme centers on a heroic Belgian Malinois who participated in the 2019 U.S. special operations raid against ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The dog’s image went viral after then-President Donald Trump tweeted a photo of the animal, praising its service. The internet quickly fell in love with 'Conan,' turning the photo into a symbol of bravery, patriotism, and the 'Good Boy' trope. Beyond its political origins, the template is widely used to celebrate pets or mock-up scenarios where a dog receives an official commendation or medal for humorous, everyday accomplishments.
