Happy Republic Day, India!

Today is the 63rd Republic Day for India. Republic Day commemorates the date (Jan 26, 1950) on which the Constitution of India came into force replacing the Government of India Act 1935 as the governing document of the country. They had parades and big celebrations in the capital city of New Delhi. Our city probably has some celebrating up on the Ridge, but we're staying home. 






Lady read where even dogs were included:
"Every dog has its day", so goes the proverbial saying and though the sniffing dogs are omnipresent at the Parade, forming part of the Delhi Police Bomb Disposal Squad and NSG too relying on man’s best friend to secure the Rajpath, this year’s Parade gave them their due, with the dogs displaying their skills in a lotus formation and a grand salute by the leader sitting on a tableau of the Army’s Remount Veterinary Corps (RVC)[bellvision.com]

So, here's to all the working dogs in India. I hope you get good treats and good treatment for all you do for your country!
