(India Times) A mine-sniffing floof has been awarded the medal of honour by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The cutest furry buddy named Patron is a pint-sized Jack Russel terrier and has been recognised for detecting more than 200 explosives during Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Patron is now recognised as a symbol of patriotism and has been honoured for his bravery by President Zelenskyy at a news conference in Kyiv with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The four-legged creature wagged his tail in excitement as he made his way up to the President to collect his medal.
