Seven canines who guarded the Delhi Metro for eight years, retired with full honours on Tuesday.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) organised a first-of-its-kind ceremony to award medals and certificates to the dogs.
During their service with the CISF, the canines participated in mock exercises and anti-sabotage checks of Metro premises. Bidding farewell to the dogs, the CISF tweeted, “Born as a dog, retired as a soldier.”
