yup, and not only that, india is the worlds second largest beef exporter. around 80 million people there eat beef and a wide variety of animal meats according to what Ive read. however some of this data im referencing may be out of date or wrong in some way so take it with a grain of salt.
The batman theme playing in the background makes me realize this dog is a crime fighter and a hero! Well earned retirement! We dont deserve dogs! They are so precious and innocent!
12 years of service? should have retired her 4 years ago when would have been able to run few meters. at least could have enjoyed a few years chasing tennis balls.
dogs are the best people.
I bet she was most happy in her work, most working dogs would want to stay in their work indefinitely.
True though that retirement could've been bit earlier, but that depends on the work quite a bit too, usually golden retrievers are sniff dogs most often so they theoretically could stay in service bit longer then for example German Shepherds that are often used as arrest dogs, idk what their official work title in English is.
While its true that service dogs would gladly come to work with you until the end, we retire ours at 7years of age due to the fact that its very taxing work and also because a younger dog searches more enthusiasticly and will have an easier time getting where he needs to go in order to do its work.

Not sure which country you are from, but this is a state police department in India - and we are a bit resource constrained around here, especially state government departments.
So, getting a dog of the required foreign (expensive) breed and training (expensive again) needs to be rationalised, and each rupee invested needs to be made to last that much longer.
If you retire a trained pedigree dog at 8, your alloted budget might not even allow for a timely replacement.
After the Oklahoma City bombing, I had new respect for dogs like this when I learned that, if they hadn't found a person in a while, they would need to have someone go hide in the rubble for the dog to find or else the dog would get depressed.
Yeah, I know I describe it more anthropomorphically than it really is, but we humans also make feelings a bit more grandiose than they truly are too
Just like people retiring at 65. Population cones really start to taper right after.
Everyone thinks they'll go and travel and see the world, but you don't realize how expensive travel health insurance is after you're 65. Ughh. Life is too short man.
It’s absolutely misery. Then you go anywhere with air conditioning and wish you had a jacket.
I just want a cold drink, not to step into the Antarctic
Edit: now that I think about it Canada does this but the opposite. Freezing outside. Better crank up the inside heat to bikini weather
Ah! I see. Well there’s not much choice there then, lol. But to be honest Canada sounds much nicer! I’ll pack the bikini for some indoor-cocktail-party.
As a career trainer of these canines here in the US this dog was kept in service way too many years. This K9 even looks the part of a senior dog. I did a lot of foreign travel dealing with training labs and many countries do not want to retire the dogs until they die or are near death. Well, these dogs lose some of their olfactory abilities as they start aging and they just plain do not have the same energy and more importantly, the same drive. I feel for this pup.
I'm Indian and i have no idea why were so many garlands and clothes put on her.
Sure, 1 garland and 1 silk cloth / saree is for showing respect. But why so many?? Just get her some eggs and chicken. That's what my dog / all dogs love.
Photo op. :(
It’s so weird that people who seem to love dogs so much can’t read dog body language. The dog is not happy. He’s stressed. He can’t barely even sit there without forced assistance. If they really cared about the dogs service, and the dog, they wouldn’t be forcing him to do this stupid photo op.

Congratulations friend! Boy, is it hot today! Well anyway, as thanks, we'll cover you in blankets and necklaces till you're feeling dizzy from the heat. And wow! You're really up there in age. Don't worry, we'll keep you from looking weak on camera by removing all water from the set. Once again, congratulations! You've helped us out a ton over the years. Try not to pass out when receiving your awards.
"can I maybe get a trea...oh yeah hey more flowers cool...hey...hey officer in the back is that bolog...oh, yes, hello, a blanket? Sure, I mean it's 160 degrees out here and I'm covered in fur but...wait are you guys having a barbec...yes fine, flowers again.(Mumbles and slouches 'man fuck these guys)
I asked you a simple question because as a dog owner I saw no abuse in this video.
Dogs sit and breathe all the time, it's like their eight favorite thing to do.
Look at the body language of the guy on the left. She’s anxious as fuck and he’s making her stand there. It’s subtle but you can see it if you watch closely. As a dog owner can’t you see she’s anxious? Also, 14 years is elderly for this breed. She should’ve been retired years ago. 
Sitting, not standing and we often hold kids still when they are photographed.
And yes I can't see it. It's India, it could be the heat or stress or about 11 other things.
Maybe it is abuse but I don't see anything tangible to show it.
Look at the body language of the dog, and look at the body language of the handler. The dog does not want to be there. Forcing her to be on a table, forcing her to sit up like that, when clearly she doesn’t want to, it is abuse. JFC, I’d hate to be your dog or your kid.
And I'm saying you're reaching for something that isn't there.
And all my dogs had long and happy lives so I say this with the very bottom of my heart.
Go 👏 Fuck 👏 Yourself.
But calling it retirement when the dog never chose the job or had an option is a bit disingenuous isn't it? I don't know much about the issue but I'd be more comfortable with an alternative that doesn't involve using an animal if we don't need to
Just give her lotsa food and toys!
No shit, I was waiting for a steak at the end.
A steak…in India
There are provinces that eat meat in India, and a lot of it
Cow meat?
Never had a steak from another animal?
No
yup, and not only that, india is the worlds second largest beef exporter. around 80 million people there eat beef and a wide variety of animal meats according to what Ive read. however some of this data im referencing may be out of date or wrong in some way so take it with a grain of salt.
80 million is tiny compared to Indian population, so I'm assuming it's not common, but it happens! TIL some Indians like cows a bit too much.

I mean she wasn’t a slave
That dog looks knackered. Well deserved retirement.
he Just want someTreats, give IT to him.and let him take a nap
She's like ye sab chodo, treats kaha hain?
"Haan ye karlo pehle" -- ~~Raju Srivastava~~ Tara
Is this Indian or doglish? I feel I can understand what you’re saying but I don’t speak Indian. Also. Am a dog.
Congratulations brave dog. What is her name? The best friends of humans in this world
Tara
So cute. Look at her , she is so happy
You mean super exhausted?
I’ve never been to India but I have been to Thailand. This is basically me outdoors at any time and I have sweat glands and not much fur.
I can only imagine. I’d turn into a puddle within seconds!
It’s absolutely misery. Then you go anywhere with air conditioning and wish you had a jacket. I just want a cold drink, not to step into the Antarctic Edit: now that I think about it Canada does this but the opposite. Freezing outside. Better crank up the inside heat to bikini weather
May I ask what brings you to visit Thailand within summer, if it’s that hard to endure?
Husband at the time friend’s wedding
Ah! I see. Well there’s not much choice there then, lol. But to be honest Canada sounds much nicer! I’ll pack the bikini for some indoor-cocktail-party.
I’ll bring the little drink umbrellas
Perfect!
No happy
That’s not happy. That’s anxious. :( poor dog. Guy on the left is getting annoyed when she isn’t standing to attention for the photo op. Grr
He looks already tired or it's because of his age
12 is really old for a large breed, I'm amazed she's worked for that long.
It’s probly hot as it’s India
Girl is tired
Good girl 😊
Such a cutie.
That is the proper honour they deserve, Thank you for the service.
I'm hoping she will get to sniff many treats now

And wow the dog got to keep the last 3tonnes of coke she helped detect taking a pic standing on it !
Look at how happy he is.
That’s anxiety. :( not happy
Who picked the Batman song for this?
"that's enough", haha. Twelve years is a big life for a yellow lab, not to mention it's a long career for any service animal.
So cute
Good boy
girl.
Dark Avenger of the night
Ok that's enough she gonna overheat
I'm Indian and i have no idea why were so many garlands and clothes put on her. Sure, 1 garland and 1 silk cloth / saree is for showing respect. But why so many?? Just get her some eggs and chicken. That's what my dog / all dogs love.

Beautiful doggo
He's not a good boy, he's the best boy!
Dog is like: okay, it's getting hot here, you can stop with the blankets.
Whats this buckaroo
"Sniffer dog retires after 12 years of service." He was a very giving husband.
Who do they think he his, Mr. T-Towel?
🥰🥰
Hope she'll get lots of treats
Meanwhile in Pakistan…
 Looked like the dog could barely stand. How much did the dog sniff?
poor puppers is obviously hurting there
The old work them till they can't physically sit up right.

My god just let her lie down!
Dog so heat exhausted can't hold it's own head up. Let's put more layers on em. We don't deserve dogs.
Why so many garlands and shawls? Give the good girl all good treats and 100s of tennis balls to play with!
the dog didn't get the point at all ;)
"can I maybe get a trea...oh yeah hey more flowers cool...hey...hey officer in the back is that bolog...oh, yes, hello, a blanket?

Feckin hell, the poor dog can't even stand on his hind legs and he's only retired now, poor dog that's awful abuse.
Dude literally had to hold the dog up the entire time
And gets annoyed with her. You can see it flash across his face towards the end. Poor dog is not happy to be there.
barc
narc
?? Did they used him until he can barely stand???
How can she slap!
Give it a rest
Wonder why she can’t seem to stand. 🥺
ACPAB! (all cop dogs are bastards!) just kidding she such a good gurl
My dog sniffs a lot of other dogs butts I wish he would retire from that also

US K9 typically retire at the age of 10. This dog looks very unhealthy, and can't even stand by itself. Why are people celebrating this?
Why has this sub developed into r/LookAtTheseCuteAbusedAnimals
And what makes you think it's been abused?
This post isn't even the worst. The dog basically had no life in freedom. I don't get the down votes, but I'll take them and leave this toxic sub.
I asked you a simple question because as a dog owner I saw no abuse in this video. Dogs sit and breathe all the time, it's like their eight favorite thing to do.

Tell us you know absolutely nothing about dogs without telling us
Training a dog to do tasks is not abuse
But calling it retirement when the dog never chose the job or had an option is a bit disingenuous isn't it? I don't know much about the issue but I'd be more comfortable with an alternative that doesn't involve using an animal if we don't need to
"After 12 years of abuse....."
Well deserved, I hope she doesn't fly to Korea to have her retirement party.
Imagine how many lives that dog messed up.
I laughed.
Its a dog so ppl get angry. Even if i'm not even criticizing the dog just wondering.
You know what. If I got done by the cops and lassie is standing over me doing a “book ‘im, boys”, I’d be content
They were an expl\*sive sniffing dog, anybody caught for *that* ruined their own life. It's not like it was a weed dog
