NSG Dog Donny Honored for Red Fort Blast Heroics
Anti-Terror Agency's Dog Gets Army Award For Red Fort Blast Heroics · NDTV

There is a very special dog in India named Donny who works for a security team called the NSG.

Donny is trained to use his nose to find bombs and explosives.

Last year, a big explosion happened at the Red Fort in Delhi, and 12 people lost their lives.

After the explosion, Donny was sent to the Red Fort to check the area for danger.

He found traces of explosives, which helped the security teams make the area safe.

Two days later, Donny checked a car in Faridabad that might have been carrying explosives.

He found explosives in the car, which stopped the bad guys from causing more harm.

Because Donny was so brave and good at his job, the Army gave him a special award.

The award is called the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Card, and it was given on Independence Day.

Donny was one of 14 heroes honored, along with soldiers and two other brave dogs.
