Army Dog Center Jhang

Army Dog Center in Jhang

Jhang is the city of Heer and Ranjha in Punjab folklore, standing near the point where the Chenab and the Jhelum meet at Trimmu. The district includes Shorkot, Ahmadpur Sial and Garh Maharaja, and roads lead to Faisalabad, Chiniot, Sargodha and Multan.

Situations we are asked about in Jhang

• Cattle or buffaloes taken from a farm and led toward river lowlands.
• Vehicles and motorcycles taken from the roads to Faisalabad or Chiniot.
• Shop theft in the older bazaars of Jhang Sadar and Jhang city.
• A person who went toward the river or the floodplain and was not seen again.

The two rivers shape everything here. In summer they run high and fill their floodplains, and in winter they shrink and leave wide sandy beds. A person or animal moving through such ground leaves little that a person can read, but scent remains for a trained dog. Because flood water can erase evidence quickly, it matters to report an incident as soon as you can after you find it.

Keep the place closed and untouched, and put worn clothing into a clean bag. Call the police on 15 for serious crimes. Then ring Army Dog Center on 0300-5780720 at any hour. Tell us the town or village, the nearest road or canal, and when it happened.

Floods and sandbanks change from year to year around Jhang, so locals often know the safest ground to stand on. Ask someone who does to guard the spot. When you call, say whether the place is on the river side or the town side, and when the water level last changed.
