The Kennel Union of Ukraine presented the State Border Control Service with 30 puppies of service [dog] breeds.

After training at a dedicated training facility and acquiring special skills, the fluffy “warriors” will be sent by dog trainers to serve at their deployment sites of Luhansk and Donetsk border control units.

By July 30, five more service dogs will come to the National Academy of the State Border Service of Ukraine for further training. According to the press service of the Kennel Union, it is only “the first step of the long-term charitable campaign by the Kennel Union.”

“Both in peacetime and wartime, “younger brothers” [dogs] will be honorably serving alongside their older partners, border control servicemen (on specialized, search and mine detection missions), guarding and protecting our border. And for their invaluable contribution in stopping offenses at the state border, they will receive, on equal par to people, and sometimes at the cost of their life, a deserved appreciation and medals “For dedicated service,” said the statement of the State Border Service.
