Putin Asks Russians To Help Him Name His New Puppy
Vladimir Putin is definitely bent on gaining more popularity than he already has among the Russians by trying to touch a soft spot through gestures that show him to be a regular person who can have a black eye or a daughter that is getting married far away in South Korea.
Now, the “Tsar” has a dilemma that makes him address the general public: he’s got a puppy and he has a problem naming it.
For that he has asked the support of the people who can write to him at www.premier.gov.ru and give him ideas.
The Karakachan little dog was given to the Russian PM during a meeting with the Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov in Sofia, Bulgaria, last Saturday.
As hard as it may seem coming from a man that shaped an image of judoka who fights tigers, or of the brave man who dares get on board of a Antonov fighter plane or under the seas on board of a nuclear submarine in the frozen waters of the North Sea, upon receiving the little puppy Putin hugged it passionately and… kissed it on the little nose.
According to some sources Putin wishes his dog to have a name that begins with the letter J (as in the German name Johann, for instance).
The puppy will live in the residence at Novo-Ogaryovo, outside Moscow, and it is said it has already gone through a brief quarantine which proved it healthy.
Putin’s website says the dog has not been introduced to Connie, the 11-year-old Labrador living in the residence, although some media reports say otherwise.
If you care to help the Russian PM give a name to his dog, first you have to know it is a male puppy, so the J name should be a male name.
The suggestions can be submitted by clicking on Letters to the Prime Minister, then selecting the latest column in the Section menu: Name the Prime Minister’s New Puppy.
You will be required to leave some information about yourself on the bottom of the page. Who knows, you may be the one who actually names his dog, and the man may want to thank you.11
