With their amazing sense of smell and incredible ability to follow commands, paramilitary force dogs are one of the most reliable warriors. These warriors go through intense training and play a crucial role for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).?
Now, when was time to bid them goodbye, the CISF team gave seven dogs - that were a part of the Delhi metro squad - a retirement with full honours. These dogs worked for eight years with the paramilitary forces.?
The retired dogs were given mementos, medals and certificates at a ceremony organised by CISF unit of Delhi Metro (DMRC). The CISF took to Twitter and posted, ¡®Born as a dog, retired as a soldier,¡¯ with pictures of the function.?
According to reports, it was the first time in the history that the unit organised such a retirement function for the dogs. The CISF also posted ¡®farewell messages¡¯ appreciating the canines for their dedication towards their work.
The dogs were later handed over to a Delhi-based NGO - Friendicoes. It is an NGO that encourages volunteers to directly or indirectly participate in activities related to the welfare of animals.?
Dogs who retire from service often work as guard dogs; some of them are shifted to rehabilitation centres, or are put up for adoption.
Months ago, an Army veteran also tweeted, urging people to adopt retired service dogs. He took to Twitter and posted 'These dogs have served the Nation for seven years, now age catching. You can adopt them and give them a loving home. All you need to do is submit an affidavit.'
Here¡¯s the tweet:?
He also gave information on how to go about adopting these dogs.
These dogs have spent the better part of their lives serving their country. You can't possibly find a pet more loyal than that, not to mention they deserve all the love and care they can get.
