Dogs are one of the most loving, caring, and loyal species of animals. Canines are known for their loyalty toward their masters. Dogs are faithful companions. Whether you are looking for a companion for your walks in the park, or a cuddly lap dog to keep you company on the sofa, there is sure to be a dog out there for you. Dogs provide us with love, loyalty, and companionship – everything we could ask for in a pet. One such company today has left the country in mourning. Zoom, the army dog, today had his last sleep. He sacrificed his life for the well-being of the nation.Â
On October 11, two terrorists were neutralized by the Indian Army during the Anantgar Encounter. The two terrorists were reportedly a part of Lashkar-E-Taiba. Aasif Ahmad Reshi and Wakeel Ahmad Bhat were two Lashkar-E-Taiba terrorists. They were shot down in the Tangpawa Kokernag, situated in the South of the state of Kashmir. According to a police spokesperson, a joint team of the Army’s 19RR, the CRPF’s 1648n, and the J&K Police launched a cordon-and-search operation in Tangpawa Kokernag based on intelligence about the presence of terrorists there. As the search party got closer to the suspected hideout, the terrorists in hiding opened fire on the forces and killed the Lashkar duo. From the scene of the firefight, weapons, ammunition, and other materials that could be used as evidence were seized. In this regard, the police opened a case and launched an investigation.
During the encounter, Zoom the army dog played an important role in neutralizing the terrorists. He was shot a couple of times but still was undeterred by the wounds during the time of encounter. The two-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois with a black-and-tan coat was immediately hospitalized. He was stable until today morning at 11:45 am he started gasping and collapsed. The nation’s hero struggled to cope with the gasping. He was admitted to the Army Veterinary Hospital. He was required to have reconstructive surgery. Zoom, although a dog, is no less than a soldier who dedicated his life to the nation’s safety. Zoom, despite being immensely in pain after getting shot twice, heroically played an important role. He never looked back and had the nation in his mind and heart till his last breath.
Netizens have taken over and are mourning his loss. Lt. Gen. Satish Dua mourned his loss after posting a positive update. His heroics will never be forgotten. He made his nation proud. May his soul rest in peace.
