The death of police dog Diesel in the aftermath of the Paris attacks hit home with much of the western world.

Tributes were paid after the 7-year-old was killed during raids in the Saint-Denis region of the city, and Anonymous pledged to take revenge against ISIS in the light of the death.

France’s relationship with Russia has been the topic of much debate too, and this latest gesture will warm the hearts of many.

Russian forces presented the French police with Dobrynya, a German Shepherd puppy who will take Diesel’s place. And an adorable one at that.
