(REUTERS) - Army dogs performed for an audience at a show organised by Army Training Command (Artrac) in Shimla city of India's northern state of Himachal Pradesh on Friday (Sept 25).

During the show, Labrador retrievers ran through obstacle courses and sniffed out explosives.

The canines, known for their fondness of human company, followed the commands of their trainers diligently and performed their drills flawlessly.

Artrac, established in October 1991, will be holding a series of events to commemorate its silver jubilee.
