Let’s take a moment for Dobrynya the puppy.
As New York reports, the world of international diplomacy has been, shall we say, bleak of late. And bleak it likely shall remain. But for a few fuzzy moments yesterday, France and Russia came together when the latter country offered wee Dobrynya to commemorate a fallen comrade: Diesel, “the police dog killed when special forces raided an apartment in St. Denis following the terrorist attacks in Paris last month.” Dobrynya will take Diesel’s place on the police force.
