Few know about the ‘pawsome’ gang of 4, Max, Tiger, Sultan & Ceaser, all sniffer dogs from Mumbai Police’s Bomb Detection & Disposal Squad, whose nose for explosives not only saved countless lives but also salvaged Mumbai from what could have been a tragedy of enormous proportion
During the 26/11 attacks, Max sniffed 8 kg of RDX, 25 grenades, four detonators, ball bearings and shrapnel.
Sultan and Tiger both helped in the 26/11 investigations and bomb detection.

Last but not least is Ceasar, who was declared a hero after sniffing two hand grenades at the CSMT railway station and 8 kg of RDX from the Taj Hotel premises.
The end of an era came with Max’s demise, who passed away due to old age on April 8, 2016.

It was heartbreaking to see the remaining three refusing to leave Max’s grave after he was given a state funeral.
Such was their friendship that the remaining three couldn’t handle the loss of their friend, and in six months, they also passed away.
