Russia sends France service puppy after police dog dies in Paris attacks

Russian authorities have gifted France with an adorable police dog in a show of support following the massive terror attack that killed 130 people and a shepherd named Diesel that was blown to pieces by a suicide bomber.

Diesel, a Belgian Malinois, died in a hail of gunfire by female suicide bomber, Hansa Aitboulahcen, during an anti-terror raid in suburban Saint-Denis on Wednesday, according to France's National Police.

Now, the Russian government is sending over Dobrynia, a furry new companion named after a Russian folklore hero to help "in the fight against terrorism," Russian government officials said.

Everything Alan West said was right on and made good sense.

I’d trust that man with my life, too. He would make a great President or Secretary of Defense, among other things.

He is a real American.

With all due respect, I believe that the Malinois is a better breed for the task:

Well-raised and trained Malinois are usually active, intelligent,[5][6][7] friendly,[5] protective,[6] alert and hard-working. Belgian Malinois exhibit energy levels that are among the highest of all dog breeds. A typical Malinois will have puppy-like energy until the age of 3, though it is not uncommon for them to exhibit this energy level until the age of five. Many have excessively high prey drive. Some may be excessively exuberant or playful, especially when young.[5][6] They can be destructive or develop neurotic behaviors if not provided enough stimulation and exercise. This often causes problems for owners who are unfamiliar with the breed and are not prepared to provide the exercise they require or a job for them to do. They are medium-sized, strong dogs that require consistent obedience training, and enjoy being challenged with new tasks. They are known to be very easy to train, due to their high drive for rewards.[5][6]

Good Lord, Maybe Obama could send James Taylor back just to even things up.

“but this supreme narcissistic cannot contemplate anything of this sort and the sycophants that surround him are as cold hearted as he”

Whens the last time you’ve heard a world leader besides Obama criticize and ridicule his own citizens while he is abroad?

I would salute Putin- with a full military salute.
I would also salute Dorkbama the Muslim - with one extended finger.

I agree. I wish LTC Allen West was running. It was refreshing to see an adult on television.

I have a Tervuren which is nothing more than a Malinois with long hair. Because of my familiarity with them, I don’t find them imposing or intimidating in the least. An Ovcharka is another story. Russia should have sent France a pack of them to cut loose in the no-go neighborhoods.

They’re used for guard work and to hunt bears.

Wow, very different from our own native breed, the Plott bear hound. I love dogs but would be a little worried around that one.

The Left loved Russia when it was the Soviet Union. Now it’s the Right that loves Russia....What a crazy upside-down world it has become.
