Remember all the news about the 'dogs of Sochi' in the days leading up to the Olympics?
The city had plans to destroy all the stray dogs in the Olympic Village. Local animal rights groups got wind of this and started rounding up dogs and putting them in temporary shelters hoping that this story would get media attention.
And it did! Athletes and newcasters began adopting dogs. Animal rights groups from around the world got involved and many of the stray dogs of Sochi were saved. This silver medalist took home an entire family of puppies!
I can tell you though that there are still lots of stray dogs in Sochi. A lot of them are very cute!
Of course this warning sign might cause second thoughts about taking home a dog. I was never sure if it referred to dogs or wolves!
The ones we saw looked perfectly lovable, very far from a snarling menace!
