Died – 8/25/21
A sniffer dog named Ruby, who served on the police force with distinction for nearly 10 years, passed away due to health issues on Wednesday night in the city. Police officials in the district conducted a parade and offered floral tributes to Ruby’s mortal remains before laying her to rest at the AR Grounds near Kailasagiri hill on Thursday. Ruby, a Labrador Retriever, was working with the Visakhapatnam District Police since 2012. She was specially trained at the Integrated Intelligence Training Academy in Hyderabad to detect explosives, which turned out to be one of her core strengths while serving with the Rural police during many VVIP programs.
