Meerut : 'Panna Lal'... smell this mobile and find out whose it is. Find out who has come to the fair without taking a bath.' The trainer said this sentence loudly near the ear of a donkey named 'Panna Lal'. The donkey, considered stupid, went straight to the person whose mobile it had smelled in the crowd. Then he gently held the shirt of the person who had come without taking a bath.

This trained donkey, which has become an attraction in the Nauchandi fair, can even recognise pregnant women. Trainer Banwari said that this donkey is adept at smelling, but recognises by face reading.

Rajesh Khanna was stunned to see the skill of the dog

Donkey owner Banwari Lal's uncle Bangalinath Goswami used to supply dogs to Mumbai's film city 50 years ago. During shooting at Mohan Studio, his dog had sniffed Rajesh Khanna's watch and reached him. Uncle was very happy about this. Later this family shifted to Agra, where Banwari Lal Goswami started experimenting on donkeys based on his experience of training dogs. He bought a seven month old donkey. He named it 'Pannalal'.

Trained to reach the concerned person by smelling the object

For months, they kept calling him 'Pannalal' for bread. Then they trained him to reach the concerned person by smelling an object. The trainer told that the smell of the person who keeps the mobile remains in it. With the help of this smell, the donkey reaches the concerned person. He was also trained in face reading.

For example, in the show, when the audience asks 'Pannalal' to identify an unmarried person, a person who has not bathed, a person who has come without a ticket, a pregnant woman, a doctor, an engineer etc., he does face reading of the audience. After identifying them, he reaches the concerned person. 'Pannalal' also recognizes the voice of the trainer correctly.
