Silent warriors who still stick to their mission after retirement
Dogs are considered the most loyal animals to humans. Apart from this, the Indian Army also uses them to detect enemies. After special training and unwavering dedication, these outstanding dogs are now starting a new chapter in their lives with schools for special children and citizens of society. On the 246th Veterinary Corps Reloading Day, the Indian Army donated 12 retired military dogs to Asha School and many civilians.
These military dogs have been deployed to serve the country in many combat situations and difficult areas. They play an important role in tasks such as detecting explosives and mines, saving the lives of people trapped in avalanches, tracking and guarding. These military dogs contribute to the country’s security and humanitarian efforts with their courage and patience. Currently, the Indian Army is also preparing indigenous breeds such as Rampur hounds, mud pit hounds, Combat hounds, Chipipalai hounds and Rajapalayam hounds for these missions.

The existence of retired dogs has proven to be a boon to special needs children. These dogs are helping them develop social, emotional and cognitive skills. Due to their calm and affectionate nature, they make excellent therapy companions for children.
These warriors came here after retiring
After receiving services, the dogs will be taken to the Canine Senior Center at Cantremont Veterinary Corps Center and College in Meerut. Even in their later years, they will receive the best care and facilities here. It has opened a special senior center for retired dogs and horses of the Indian Army, where they are treated with equal respect and care.
This move by the Indian Army not only demonstrates the deep relationship between humans and animals, but also symbolizes respect and compassion for them. This initiative reminds us of how dedicated the Army is to all warriors, human and animal.
