Sarbi spent almost 14 months missing in action (MIA) in Afghanistan having disappeared during an ambush in September 2008. Sarbi was later rediscovered by an American soldier and was reunited with Australian forces, pending her repatriation to Australia.
In April 2011 Sarbi was awarded an RSPCA Purple Cross Award in recognition of the deeds of animals that have shown outstanding service to humans and exceptional courage in risking their own safety or life to save a person. She died in March 2015.
