In India, a sniffer dog who worked for 12 years in the police was retired

In India, a sniffer dog named Tara, who served in the police for 12 years, was retired at a ceremony. The Labrador was not just a service dog, but an elite dog - he was part of a special detachment that ensured the safety of top officials of the state and other important persons during public events. Tara also searched for explosives.

After completing his service, the faithful dog was escorted to his well-deserved rest with honors. For the occasion, Tara was decorated with traditional Indian marigold garlands and a special shawl was draped around her neck as a sign of respect for her services. And her fellow police officers gave her a real standing ovation.

Officers spoke fondly of Tara's exceptional sense of smell, which helped thwart many potential threats. It is curious that during his service, this black dog’s fur turned completely gray due to vitiligo.
