Dogs are fondly called man's best friend, but in this case, the opposite is also true. A white Labrador named 'Sultan' has found a new home at a local police station in Madhya Pradesh.

Cops at the Choti Bajaria police station are busy babysitting their new furry-friend who was left alone after his family members were sent to prison.

All six members of his family were sent to jail on June 21 over a murder case of their relatives. The family was involved in a property feud.

The dog was alone without food and water for days in the arrested family's home. Police said that the dog was ferocious after they arrested his owner, but has become like family now.

The dog now rests with the police officers in the same room and is also pampered with home-cooked food.

When the Station in-Charge of Chhoti Bajaria Police Station, Manisha Tiwari, came to know of the canine, she decided to take care of him.

"Five people were killed by the owners of the dog. There was no one to look after their dog that is why he is here. We are providing food and water to Sultan," she said.

The fawn coloured pooch is fed bread, milk, and chapattis by cops, while, in return, the canine spreads smiles, wagging his tail and sniffing around.

Five days after the family was jailed, Tiwari came to know about their pet and immediately reached out for help.

Now the police post has become the canine's home with cops treating him like a family member.

Manisha Tiwari said she will hand over the dog if someone wants to adopt it.
