Service Dogs Worshiped During Kukur Tihar Celebration In Kathmandu, Nepal
''Ghungroo,'' a service dog from the Police Canine Division, receives an award as the best performer in recognition of its exceptional skill in identifying drugs at Tribhuvan International Airport, which helps catch smugglers. The dog is captured during the Kukur Tihar celebration, also known as Dog Tihar, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 20, 2025. The recognition highlights the dog's dedicated service to the force as part of the festival where dogs are worshipped with garlands, vermillion powder, and special meals to honor their loyalty and contribution.
