Things You'll Only See In Russia

Famous Dog's

Two Russian dogs have been immortalized in Moscow. One dog is located in Ploshchad Revolyutsii metro station. The dog is forever standing with a statue of its owner, a well-loved patrolman. It's considered good luck to rub the dog's nose. Another dog statue is of Laika, who was sent into space and did not survive her journey. People still leave flowers for the pup in remembrance of her feat.
