New Delhi: To a well-trained security dog, nothing is more exciting than finding a bomb. And 'Nancy'--a Labrador who is part of ITBP dog squad-- did not let security personnel down on Friday when she quickly detected an explosive, her tail wagging and looking towards her handler. The four-year-old canine was tasked to find a hidden IED.
Nancy was part of the tight security drill that is in place ahead of the main Republic Day parade here on January 26. As part of a mock drill, the Improvised Explosive Device(IED) was concealed near the under-construction main VVIP dais at the India Gate lawns. Officials said the bomb was planted by the Prime Minister's security wing as part of the drill to check the prepardness of various agencies on January 26.
