The russian presidential press secretary just said on the 15th that singleness does not affect Putin's performance of the president's duties. On the 17th, when Putin visited Serbia, he harvested a new puppy. "Single Dogs" has a new little partner.
Serbian President Aleksandr Vucic presents a 4-month-old Saplaninakh to Putin.
Putin fell in love with this puppy of noble blood and called it "so cute.". The puppy also became the fifth dog Putin has received since he first became President of Russia in 2000.
Because Putin likes dogs, politicians always like to vote for him and give Putin dogs in his dealings with Russia.
When Putin visited Bulgaria in November 2010, then-Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov presented a Bulgarian Shepherd to Putin.
In 2012, the Japanese government gave Putin a very well-bred Akita dog, named yume.
Putin teased the Akita dog when he met with Japanese officials, haha.
On Putin's 65th birthday, Turkmenistan President Kurbanguli Berdymukhamedov gave Putin a Central Asian Shepherd dog named "Verne", which translates to "loyalty".
When the president of Turkmenistan lifted it out of the cage, the scene, combined with Putin's expression, was quite interesting.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu also gave Putin a Labrador dog named Konni. "Kony" is deeply loved by Putin, and often accompanies Putin around and participates in various state conferences. It's the black dog that meets Merkel below.
Look at how happy Putin is when he and his dogs are together.
