The K9 squad, comprising six Belgian Malinois dogs and their handlers, has been actively assisting forest and police officials in Kaziranga and Manas National Parks as well as other rhino-inhabited areas in Assam. Zorba’s contribution during his lifetime will always be remembered and we will always regard him as a conservation hero. The dog’s handler, Anil Kumar Das, said he has rich memories with Zorba, who will always remain an inspiration for him.
