Patron is a Jack Russell who became very well known on social media after his images were released on social media, right at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. He was a father now.
Just like can remember here, Patron helped the Ukrainian military detect explosive devices, notably in Chernihiv, northern Ukraine.
The performance in Ukrainian territory, which gave him the nickname “Chernihiv’s mascot”, enchanted the users of social media – and now this new phase of it also aroused the networks, with comments asking when Patron would use his license.
In the Instagram publication created for Patron, Jack Russell's owners wrote on his behalf: “They say that when someone becomes a parent, life changes. I still don't understand exactly how. Will we always be around them? Or is it when you want to know why they're making those high-pitched sounds – and why one of them hasn't been sounding in a long time? Is this the kind of change people talk about?”, the owners played.
The sharing received more than 50,000 “likes” and comments are full of users to congratulate or even ask if they can baptize any.
Some people still point at how funny it is. May the dog snouts be covered with emojis.
