Trained army dogs march alongside their handlers in India's biggest visual spectacle - Republic Day on 26th January 2016. It is after a long gap that the canines have accompanied their human colleagues! It is early in the morning inside the Delhi cantonment. The barracks, which house the temporary camps where the marching contingents for the Republic Day parade stay, have a new set of visitors - 24 Labradors, 12 German shepherds, and as many trainers. Twenty six years after they last marched down the Rajpath, the dog squad from the Army’s Meerut-based Remount and Veterinary Corps centre and college is back. Over the last four months, the best among the best of Indian Army’s silent, four-legged warriors have been hand-picked and made to practice with their handlers. The Army has approximately 1,200 dogs, primarily of the breeds mentioned above and are used in operations like sniffing out explosives, avalanche rescue and CI/CT operations which have facets like assault, guarding and leading. Unlike the other contingents where selection takes place on the basis of marching prowess of the personnel involved, the parameters here are different. Since dogs are known not to react favourably to increased noise levels like those on Rajpath, there is practice for that too.
