Vijayawada: The last rites of Foxy, a 5.3-year-old police tracker dog who served in the bandobast wing of the Bapatla police department since 2022 and died due to illness, were conducted with police honors on Wednesday. Bapatla Superintendent of Police (SP) Tushar Dudi paid floral tributes to Foxy at the dog kennel building, presented a guard of honor, and performed the last rites.

He recalled that Foxy served for two years as a tracker in the police bandobast wing, helping the department crack cases of theft, rape and murder. “The death of Foxy, considered a member of the police family, is a great loss to the department. Foxy also played a key role in solving many crimes,” the SP noted. He further recollected that the Foxy played a key role in cracking a rape and murder case under the Mangalagiri police station limits; and also won a medal in the tracker wing at the 27th batch refresher training held in Mangalagiri in 2021, where she came first.

Foxy, a female Doberman, was trained in the tracker wing for eight months at the Mangalagiri APSP 6th Battalion. After completing her training on March 31, 2020, Foxy served with the Guntur Rural police. She was assigned to the Bapatla district police two years ago and armed reserve constable U. Yedukondalu has been Foxy's handler ever since.
