SERIES: The fauna of Russia. Service breeds of dogs.

 

DATE OF ISSUE: 23.06.2016

------------------------------------------------------

Service breeds are strong, hardy dogs with innate watchdog qualities, usually large individuals requiring long walks and physical activity.

 

To depict a German shepherd, the image of a puppy of Dobryny was taken, which in December 2015 was transferred by the State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation I.N. Toothed French Ambassador to Russia Jean-Maurice Rieper.

 

During the anti-terrorist operation in the fall of 2015 in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, the French special services lost a service dog named Diesel. As a sign of solidarity with colleagues, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to give the French a puppy who embodies strength, kindness, military valor and selfless help.

 

Dobrynya took the place of the service dog Diesel, who died during a special operation to neutralize terrorists.
