A sniffer dog, part of Nashik Police's bomb detection and disposal squad, received a warm farewell after 11 years of meritorious service. Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh led the tributes online by tweeting a video of 'Sniffer Spike', who was paraded on the bonnet of a police vehicle, decorated with balloons and roses. Police personnel walked alongside the vehicle applauding Spike for his contributions over the years.
