Ukraine’s Newest Soldiers Are Not Only Adorable They’re Making A Big Change In The War

With the help of a little dog, Ukrainian defense personnel are detecting and eliminating explosive devices.

On Monday, April 4, the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations posted a video to Twitter depicting the efforts of its demining squad.

Patron, a uniformed Russell Terrier in the northern city of Chernihiv, about 91 miles from Kyiv, has been sniffing out undetonated bombs at woodland search sites.

The explosives were left by Russian troops, according to the Ukrainian military service.

“Be aware, look under your feet,” the agency said in its tweet.

Patron appears to be leading the demining crew into the woods in a 47-second video released by Ukraine’s State Service for Emergency Situations.

Patron comes to a halt and barks to alert his human handler when he detects something odd. Patron is also seen digging in the dirt with a demining professional in the footage.

According to Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” Patron is responsible for the discovery of 90 explosive devices in the area.

According to the American Kennel Club, dogs have been utilized to carry out activities in battle zones around the world for centuries, but there was a substantial surge in canine aid during World War I.
