Two years ago, the head of the pyrotechnic group of the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Chernihiv region gave his son a puppy. The four-legged dog was being prepared for exhibitions, but because of the war he had to become a sapper.
In addition to serving, Patron is present at press conferences, meetings with foreign leaders, and also visits children in hospitals.
Patron was awarded the “For devoted service” medal.
