Hyderabad, October 31, 2025: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, HyCan 2025 — Hyderabad’s largest and most popular pet show — will host the National Canine Bravery Awards, jointly organised by the RRU Commando K9 Academy and the Hyderabad Canine Club.
This symbolic collaboration between Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) and the Kennel Club of India (KCI) celebrates the nation’s K9 units — the courageous dogs serving alongside India’s police and security forces in law enforcement, rescue, and disaster-response missions.
Entries from Central and State Police K9 units across India are being reviewed, and selected stories of canine heroism will be featured in HyMag, the official publication of HyCan 2025.
During the event, 2–3 exemplary K9s will be conferred with the National Canine Bravery Award in the presence of senior police officials, CAPF representatives, and dignitaries. The awards will recognise their unwavering loyalty, courage, and service to the nation.
