If one were to find oneself at any high profile event, any of the major borders of the country or amidst the ruins of a natural disaster, you would be greeted by the welcome sight of the paw patrol busy at their jobs. May it be security, search and rescue or sniffing out dangerous articles or narcotics, the dogs of the Nepal Police Canine Division have become an integral part of maintaining security around the nation. Behind this essential spoke in the Nepal Police Canine wheel consisting of dogs, their handlers and their team is the evergreen, ever smiling face of Dr. Deuti Gurung: a Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in the Nepali Police and currently the Head of the Nepal Police Canine Division.

 Dr Deuti Gurung leads a team of 165 personnel in the division. Through many years of dedicated work in her field, she now stands at the pinnacle of the canine project in Nepal’s security force. Her days as the director of the branch are spent coordinating various requests from various branches across the country, managing the dogs and their handlers and also carrying out her duties as one of the top veterinary doctors.
