“The best place I know to donate right now is World Central Kitchen,” another replied. “They are feeding people as they cross the border. You can bet that the pet owners are finding ways to share.”

What Kind Of Dogs Does Volodymyr Zelenskyy Have?

Other fans entered into a debate about the kinds of dogs that Zelenskyy has. "Gasp! Is that a blue roan (English) Cocker Spaniel! Me, too! I am not even close to as amazing as Zelensky, but I enjoy knowing we are equally in love with spaniels (no shade on shepherds!)" one user tweeted.

"No (unfortunately) I don't think it's a blue roan. I also thought it might be but it looks more like a Schnauzer," another user replied. "This was mine, full of character and sorely missed."

Although we don't know the breeds of the dogs, the photo in the tweet is from an article where Zelenskyy revealed the names of his two cuddly canines.
