Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has reportedly decided to let retired police dogs stay with the force and their handlers. The move has won praise online. Police dogs usually retire after 10 years of service. Earlier, many were sent for adoption after retirement. This could upset dogs due to sudden changes in their routine and surroundings. Under the new plan, retired dogs can remain in a familiar place with their handlers. The Maharashtra Home Department will reportedly cover their food and other care costs. Many social media users praised the decision. Some also suggested regular health checks and allowing retired dogs to train younger ones. (PC: Canva)
