Caesar, a Labrador who worked in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai bombings, was given a hero’s send off by the city’s police today, 13 October. He was the last surviving dog to have taken part in bomb detection activities following the terrorist attacks, which coordinated over four days and killed 164 people, injuring over 300 others.
