Cairo, a Belgian Malinois, received a fair amount of attention after the raid. Cairo secured the perimeter of the Abbottabad compound and was prepared to go in after bin Laden if necessary.
When he heard about Cairo's role in the raid, former President Barack Obama said, "I want to meet that dog," according to The New Yorker.
"If you want to meet the dog, Mr. President, I advise you to bring treats," one SEAL jokingly told Obama.
