From The Times:
India’s legion of street dogs are being offered the chance to make their country proud by joining a crack cadre of the country’s military.
The elite Counter Terrorism and Jungle Warfare College (CTJWC) last year picked four mongrel puppies from the streets with the hope of transforming them into a unit of explosive-detecting sniffer dogs.
The mongrels – Lily, Sally, Teja and Kareena – have just passed an intensive nine-month training course with flying colours. After they were found to be “tougher, harder and sharper in battle” than their pampered pedigree peers, there are plans to collect more for similar work.
