For information, let us tell you that army dogs contribute significantly to the service of the country just like soldiers. After death, these dogs are given respectful farewell like any soldier. The special thing is that these dogs are kept alive as long as they keep working. When a dog remains ill for more than a month or is unable to do duty due to any reason, he is killed by giving poison (animal euthanasia).

One reason for killing the dogs after retirement is, they have full knowledge of the army camp. Along with this, these dogs also keep other confidential information. In such a situation, if outsiders are entrusted, then the security of the army can be threatened. At the same time, if these dogs are sent to places like the Animal Welfare Society, then they are not able to be raised properly, because the army provides them special facilities.
