"On this day a schoolgirl received a present from Russian President Vladimir Putin. The country's leader fulfilled the girl's longtime dream of having her own pet dog, Vika has long been dreaming about having an Akita Inu puppy," the statement says.

Halleluiah! God is good, gives good gifts to His children and confirms His word. I’m filled with joy, oh, and kudos to the little girl and Putin. I’m going to be praising the Lord for days. It might resemble The Stand, but there IS a light at the end of that tunnel.
lol — can’t help but laugh at the current geo-political dichotomies.
What is poor, poor Piano Balls to do?
How touching!

Is Putin going to give puppies to all the thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children taken to Russia?
‘Child abductions’ are Russian plan to weaken Ukraine, says UK envoy
Britain’s ambassador to Ukraine, Melinda Simmons, has characterised Russia’s alleged mass abduction of children from Ukraine as a deliberate strategy to sever ties between Ukraine and the “next generation that will defend the country”.
Simmons told the Ukrainian news outlet ArmyInform that the alleged abductions were part of its “hybrid invasion” of the country.
In March, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and Russia’s children’s commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, were indicted by the international criminal court at The Hague over the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.
Children taken or kept by Russia were “subject to an extraordinary, relentless range of brainwashing”, Simmons said, which “creates a psychological barrier between the kids and their parents”.
Russia has allegedly abducted thousands of children from Ukrainian state institutions and Russian-run “summer camps”. Children have also allegedly been abducted after being orphaned by the war or when their parents were arrested by the Russian authorities in occupied areas.
In February, a report from Yale University found that since the start of the war, children as young as four months living in occupied areas had been taken to 43 camps across Russia, including in annexed Crimea and Siberia, for “pro-Russia patriotic and military-related education”.

Zelenski’s speech to the Romanian parliament was abruptly cancelled yesterday...no reason given. 😨😨😨
A Russian propaganda story from TASS?
There have been two movies about a very special Akita named Hachi (one Japanese and the other from the US).
It’s based on a true story about a College Professor and his dog...and the love the dog has for the man even after he dies...
Lovely story.

Thanks much. I’ll watch.
“ nice dogs, but too hairy. :)”
The little neighbor girl would sometimes help us brush her (the dog shed twice a year) because she liked how fluffy the undercoat was. She said she wanted to fill a pillowcase with it, so she could sleep with our dog. Her mom didn’t think that was such a good idea, but there certainly was enough hair to do it.
