A five-day workshop for dog-handlers plus a spectacular show of the dogs serving the Army took place at the Security Force Headquarters - Kilinochchi (SFHQ-KLN), following an initiative taken by 611 Brigade Headquarters.
353 dog handlers serving every corner of the SFHQ-KLN followed the workshop and the dog show got underway on Thursday (6) before a large gathering of all ranks, headed by Major General Sudantha Ranasinghe, Commander, SFHQ-KLN as the Chief Guest.
A total of 180 dogs, engaged in de-mining work, explosives and drug sniffing, guard duties, etc, joined together to showcase their talents during the event at SFHQ-KLN which brought entertainment for a couple of hours.
