In Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries, as well as in the United States, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong, the Malinois is bred primarily as a working dog for personal protection, detection, police work, search and rescue, and sport work like Schutzhund. Malinois are a suitable size to be picked up by their handlers when required, while still being large enough to control human aggressors. In 2011, United States Navy SEALs used a Belgian Malinois war dog named 'Cairo' in Operation Neptune Spear, in which Osama bin Laden was killed.In 2014, two Belgian Malinois dogs, Jordan and Hurricane, were used to stop a man who jumped over a fence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.Belgian Malinois have also been called a 'game changer' in the fight against rhino poaching in South Africa's Kruger National Park, where one dog, K9 Killer, has been responsible for more than 100 arrests.In 2019, a male Belgian Malinois, Conan, was used during the Barisha raid to chase Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
