Putin asked, but the colonel still thinks

The wife of a retired colonel from Rostov told about the reaction of her husband to President Vladimir Putin’s appeal to him within the direct line - the head of state asked Boris to allow his wife to have a dog.

“So far, he has not made any promises to me. He is shocked, and was not very happy, he does not like being pressured, like any man, and this kind of pressure, albeit a very authoritative and respected person. I do not know what will come of this all. But let's hope that dreams come true, ”said Fadeeva.

The woman also added that she and her son had already chosen the breed of dog, the welsh corgi pembroke, and expressed gratitude to her friend who addressed the message to the president.

The day before, on April 16, a resident of Rostov contacted Putin via a direct line, asking him, as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, to influence her friend’s husband. “Please just tell him: “Boris, you are wrong. “Allow your wife a dog,” wrote the woman, also named Elena.

In response to this, Putin noted that he was put in a difficult position. “I can’t order anything. Boris can rightfully say: “Come on, figure it out for yourself first.” And he will be right,” the president said, agreeing to address the colonel with a corresponding request. “Boris, please be so kind as to allow your wife to buy a dog,” said the head of state.
