Pets of Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin, the current president of Russia, has owned many dogs over time.

Konni was often seen at Putin's side, and was sometimes allowed to attend meetings when he greeted world leaders during visits to Russia.

[11][12][13] In 2016, the Japanese government offered Putin a male Akita puppy as a companion for Yume, but this gift was declined.

[14][15] Verny was a 65th birthday gift from Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, president of Turkmenistan, during a meeting in Sochi in October 2017.

The puppy is an Alabai, a top Turkmen-bred variety of the Central Asia shepherd dog.
