A French police dog named Diesel was killed Wednesday during a huge security services' operation against jihadists holed up in an apartment to the north of Paris, police said.

"Diesel, a seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd, a female assault dog ... was killed by terrorists during the operation," according to the Twitter account of France's police.

"Assault and explosives detection dogs are vital in the operations of RAID", the specialist anti-terrorist unit of the French police which launched the dawn assault targeting the suspected mastermind of Friday's attacks in Paris.

The hashtag #JeSuisChien (I am a dog) was trending on French Twitter after the announcement.

2. Aww, poor Diesel.

Assholes.

(Diesel was the same breed as my dog in my sig pic; in Europe, the different coat colors and lengths are all considered "Belgian Shepherds.&quot

17. I've seen both Belgian Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in this country

I think Diesel would be a Malinois.

20. You are correct.

Longhaired brown dogs are Belgian Turverens, and golden, curly coats are Belgian Lakenois (uncommon, mostly because they aren't recognized by the AKC, but by the smaller United Kennel Club.)

22. Additionally, Belgian Shepherds (black dogs) are known as Belgian Groenendaels.

'Cept no one calls them that.

Poor dog

12. Brave dog, a Hero. The French police, the specialist anti-terrorist unit are amazing to watch.

Our American police should have the same public open camera view on all their ops.

13. the poor pup...

she was 7 years old. I believe here in the states, many service dogs retire at 8 years.

Poor little thing.

Condolences to her partner too. They bond with their dog partners.

15. Rest in Peace, Diesel. Good Dog.

16. From the pictures I've seen, the dog was a Belgian Malinois

Malinois have shorter coats than Belgian shepherds......Whatever, a great loss
