A retired police dog, who helped police officials in detecting bombs during the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, passed away on Saturday night. The dog named as ‘Tiger’ retired last year. Animal lover Fizzah Shah took care of Tiger along with other retired police dogs in her Virar farmhouse.

Tiger’s funeral was performed in Mumbai with full state honours. The funeral was attended by other dogs, who stayed in the farm with Tiger, including his friend Caeser.

Tiger stayed at the farmhouse alongside Sultan and Max, who were part of the police force during 26/11 attacks. Both of them died earlier this year.

With the passing of Tiger, Caesar remains the only sniffer dog alive who served in the police force during Mumbai attacks.

On November 26, 2008, ten terrorists associated with Lashkar-e-taiba entered the city of Mumbai via sea route and carried out a series of shooting and bombing attacks throughout the city for four days. Around 166 people lost their lives and more than 300 were injured, as per the government records. Property worth over crores were also damaged in the attacks.

While nine terrorists were shot dead by the armed forces, Ajmal Kasab was the only one who was caught alive. On November 21, 2012, Kasab was hanged.
