Chennai: Lucky, the 11-year-old Labrador who served in Tiruvallur district’s sniffer dog squad for a decade, was laid to rest on Monday after she died due to an ailment. The canine, who dedicated much of her life to assisting law enforcers, was honoured with rich tributes from senior officers. A 21-gun salute was given, and wreaths were placed on her coffin as a mark of respect.
Lucky joined the police force on March 15, 2013, after basic training. She then received specialised bomb detection training in Chennai for six months, earning a certificate for her skills.
Throughout her career, Lucky played a crucial role in ensuring public safety, accompanying officers to 137 locations over the course of 10 years. Her remarkable contributions were recognised in 2015 when she secured the silver medal at the state police meet. In Oct 2023, due to declining health, Lucky was retired from active service. Since then, she had been receiving medical care and attention. Despite efforts to improve her health, her condition worsened on Monday, leading to her death.
Her trainers remember her as a loyal and dedicated member of the police force.
