Meet Meru, an army tracker dog from the 22 Army Dog Unit who has stolen everyone's heart online with his cuteness. After serving in the army and doing his duty the 9-year-old soldier is ready to retire and live a life as a normal dog. 

A post has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing pictures of Meru enjoying the first-class train journey to Meerut's retirement home for army dogs. The caption read, "Army Tracker Dog Meru from the 22 Army Dog Unit boarded a train to Meerut on retirement. He will spend the rest of his days at the Dogs Retirement Home at the Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC) Center. He is travelling AC first class. The Ministry of Defence recently permitted service dogs on retirement to travel AC 1st with their handlers."

 

 

The post contains several pictures of Meru enjoying his train ride, especially the one where he is sleeping on the bed. The post currently has 151.4K views and several comments from people who cannot get enough of the cuteness. 

One user wrote, "Let’s Thank Meru For His Service . Hope and pray Meru finds a forever loving family and home," expressing love and respect for Meru. 

Many people in the comments were eager to know if they could adopt Meru or other army-retried dogs. One user wrote, "Thanks for this wonderful information. Can I lodge a friendly canine from RVC Center at my place in Delhi ? She or He can stay home with the comforts of daily walks or runs and mental exercises, clean residence, timely meals, neat grooming and loads of affection..." wanting to adopt Meru and provide him with a comfortable life. 

Indian army allows civilians to adopt army dogs after retirement. Interested individuals have to submit an affidavit to the RVC centre and college in Meerut Cantt or their Delhi headquarters.
