A wonderful gesture. Go Russia :)

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.

Russian police sent a service dog named Dobrynya to France after a 7-year-old shepherd was killed during a raid in Paris.

“This dog will be handed to France in a testament of solidarity with the French people,” the Russian Interior Ministry tweeted on Friday morning.

Dobrynia “is the personification of force, of goodness, of bravery and altruism,” officials wrote on the Russian Interior Ministry Facebook page, adding that the legendary hero defended Russia against foreign invasion.
