"Bhutan has declared itself the first country in the world to have completely
sterilised and vaccinated its entire stray dog population, following a 14-year
dog population control programme.

A global animal charity, Humane Society International (HSI), that helped
implement the programme made the announcement.

Bhutan Prime Minister Lotay Tshering announced the completion of the National
Dog Population Management and Rabies Control Project, noting that the project
has successfully sterilised and vaccinated over 150,000 strays since its
inception.

The project, which began in 2009, also included microchipping 32,000 pet dogs."
