Dogs are not only man’s best friend, but also loyal allies in times of war. They have been trained to perform various tasks, such as scouting, tracking, guarding, detecting explosives, or delivering messages. They have also saved countless lives and earned many honors for their bravery and devotion.

Some of these war dogs have become legends, such as Stubby, who served in World War I and was awarded several medals; Chips, who attacked an enemy machine gun nest in World War II and received a Silver Star; or Max, who starred in a 2015 film about a dog who helped US Marines in Afghanistan.

Now, a new film inspired by true events will tell the story of another war dog who made history. The film is titled Tutti Frutti, and it follows the adventures of a stray dog who is adopted by an Indian Army unit during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War.
