The life-size bronze statue is erected of Khan who saved his handler from drowning.
A memorial to a dog who saved his handler from drowning during World War Two has been unveiled in South Lanarkshire.
Khan's owners recognised the affection between their pet and the man he had saved and allowed him to live in Strathaven"He could hear the handler in the water - my father. So he ran down and jumped back in, got him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him out. I think it was about 200yds [182m] to shore."
"People saw there was that much affection between the two of them that they decided he would take it home," Mr Muldoon said. "I guess I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Khan, and I am so pleased the good folk of Strathaven have decided to honour him for his heroism." "Thanks to photos of Khan and Jimmy I was able to capture the way they looked, but I hope I was also able to show their remarkable relationship."
