Turkmenistan dedicates holiday to enormous national dog breed [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/26/turkmenistan-dedicates-holiday-to-enormous-national-dog-breed

Turkmenistan marked a new holiday on Sunday dedicated to its national – and very large – Alabai dog breed, to which its longtime leader has already erected a gilded monument and written an ode.

I am sure Turkmenistan is a horrible country in some way I am ignorant, but I can't hate a country that like its puppies.
