Dogs are human's true friend among the animals and it is one of the favorite of us. They helps us in many ways. For their honesty and dedication in Nepal, people worship dogs in tihar festival to please Yama, the god of death, as they are considered to be his messengers. Dogs are decorated with tilaka and wear flower garlands around their necks. Worshippers offer them various foods including meat, milk, eggs, and dog food. It is considered a sin if someone acts disrespectfully to a dog on 2nd day of the festival called Kukur Tihar. It is also celebrated in Mexico and Australia. On this day Nepal police organized the special program and awards the best dogs on the basis of their yearly performance at service.

In Nepal Dog service in Nepal Police started in 1968 after some police officers received training and returned with four trained dogs from Malaysia. Six years later, the Police Dog Section was set up and 10 officers were deputed. A full-fledged central training school was set up 15 years later with regional sections in the five development regions.

The canine unit under Nepal Police Canine Operations Division currently boasts 78 trained dogs of eight different breeds, all known for their alertness, strength, intelligence and obedience and their sniffing and tracking skills. The ‘Special 78’ includes breeds such as German Shepherd, Belgium Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, Beagle, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel and the Bloodhound.

Police dogs have been assisting Nepal Police for a very long time and have helped us in arresting criminals and safeguarding VIPs and public by detecting explosives. The skills set of our dog handlers and trainers will be upgraded as their role is vital in training the dogs.

From hunting murderers, rapists, smugglers to averting grave situations, the canine unit is Nepal Police’s partner in fighting crimes. They have sniffed out drugs, explosives, hazardous chemicals, arms and ammunitions, and have even rescued citizens during disasters. They are an integral part of police surveillance teams at airports, border zones and VIP movements.
