The dog that assisted in the mission that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi will soon visit the White House, President Trump said Wednesday. 

"He's coming to the White House very soon," Trump said at a rally in Monroe, La, The Hill reports.

"I said, 'bring him now,' they said, 'He's on a mission.' I said, 'You gotta be kidding. Come on, give him couple of days rest, please,'" Trump added. 

The dog, Conan, was injured in the U.S. mission that resulted in the ISIS leader's death last month.

"You know who the real hero is, forget about Trump, the dog was the great hero, Conan," Trump said Wednesday.

Trump had hinted that Conan would visit the White House last week when he quote-tweeted a photoshopped image he shared earlier in the day of him giving the dog the Medal of honor.
