Don retires!
Location: Mathura
He worked for seven long years with the Railway Protection Force.
And now, Don -- who was part of the Mathura RPF in Uttar Pradesh -- has retired.
RG Verma, ASI, RPF, Dog Squad, Mathura, says, "He came to us when he was two months old. I trained him and raised him like my child.
"Due to a medical condition, he is unable to discharge government duties and hence has been auctioned.
"He helped us in many cases, including those related to robbery and theft."
Don's new owner says, "I've seen him earlier. When I came to know he is being auctioned, I purchased him. I am very happy. He is well-trained. I will treat him like my family member."
