Seven dogs that were part of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) retired with full honours on Tuesday after serving eight years with the para-military force. "Born as a dog, retired as a soldier," the CISF posted the message from its Twitter handle, as it shared pictures of the function.
The dogs were part of the CISF team attached to the Delhi Metro. The retired dogs were given mementos, medals and certificates at the ceremony organised by CISF unit of Delhi Metro (DMRC).
According to reports, it was the first time in its history that the unit organised such a "retirement" function for dogs that served on the force.
The CISF also posted a farewell message in its Twitter handle appreciating the canines for their dedication and devotion to duties.
The highly trained dogs enjoyed special treat during the ceremony for their selfless duty. They were later handed over to a Delhi-based NGO.
