'Give her a badge and a designation': Twitter responds to video of abandoned dog helping Railway Police catch violators at Chennai station

An abandoned dog at a Chennai railway station is now reportedly helping the police catch hold of people who break the law. The video of the dog that apparently responds to the name Chinnaponnu was first shared by the Ministry of Railways on Sunday and has since gone viral.

This dog is said to have been abandoned at the station nearly two years ago but is now helping officials of Railway Protection Force at the Park Town MRTS station in Chennai. The video shared shows the dog barking at passengers travelling on the footboard of a train or crossing railway tracks.

It’s a humble request. She deserves nutritious meal daily,” while another person said, “She should start biting the violators so people take her seriously..”
