What Kind Of Dogs Does Volodymyr Zelenskyy Have?
No (unfortunately) I don't think it's a blue roan. I also thought it might be but it looks more like a Schnauzer.
This was mine, full of character and sorely missed. pic.twitter.com/wwjCxLl78y— E. Thompson (@PasionariaUK) February 28, 2022
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.
“Dumbbells are standing, Petya is asleep, Nora is yawning. This is how the first training session after the New Year looks like. Good morning, everyone,” Zelensky captioned the photo.
