Recently a video was shared by the Army’s Chinar Corps Unit on twitter, where the officers are being seen saluting the dead body.

According to the information given by the Army, ‘Zoom’ was a part of ‘Zoom’ was part of a squad that has been trained to locate and take down terrorists. The army has a lot of assault dogs which help the army in their work, but Zoom always defined himself different because of his “energy and courage” . They said despite being a two-year-old dog, ‘Zoom’ was a veteran for having served in multiple counter operations.

During the ongoing Anantnag encounter, zoom was asked to clear the room where 2 of the terrorists were hiding, during his given assignment, he was not only able to give the exact location , butt was able to disable one of the terrorists. Even then, he located the other hiding terrorist and returned back from the target area before fainting due to major blood loss.
Another dog Axel was killed in one of the missions in Jammu and Kashmir. Axel’ was the only canine to have received the bravery award. The ‘Mention-in-Dispatches’ is given to recognize one’s “distinguished and meritorious service in operational areas and acts of gallantry”. Along with the army officers who all risk their lives in order to protect the country, these innocent dogs and other animas also risk their lives. We pay the tribute to not only Zoom, but all other fighters who always risk their lives for our own safety.
