The first dude holles the puppy like a severed head and displays it

[zaffles]

you know it’s bad when putin has to step in.

Even a stone cold KGB dude like Putin was like, "Bro what are you doing??? That's not how you hold him." 😂

[andreamolnarova]

That precious little dog.. You can clearly see the instant relief & how comfortable it feels being in the arms of a man that knows how to hold a puppy. Verny got a kiss on its head & a great dad :)

And that was the last time the Turkmenistan president was seen

[RegisteredHuman-pked]

Putin was like, ‘I know this is Russia but we don’t do that here’

Whether you respect Putin or not, at least he knows how to treat a lil pup with care

[JoseRamos-kgcq]

Even a tough guy like Vladimir Putin can't resist the cuteness of a puppy.

Are we not gonna talk about how he kissed the puppy 🥺

[kumarkislay]

He grabs it and shows to camera like it's a new product or something

[PANDMONIUM]

Putin picked up that pup like a baby, very nice

[hgmet]

The way he held that puppy, he made Putin look positively humane - that takes a lot of skill.

"I saved the puppy from Turkmenistan President and tgen everyone clapped"

[starwarfan]

That's actually the way mother dogs hold their pups, but it's not the way humans should. It kinda looks mean.

[TheStarcruiser]

I'm applauding Putin for coming to the pups rescue!!!👍

TIME, why awkward?
Have you fallen so low you can't even see this is a spontaneous and soulful reaction when a human being jumps from the chair to take a baby animal out of discomfort?

Putin definitely did not like how that poor pup was being held. Poor pup.

[maurtislonel]

The way he grabbed him and showed it to the press was like: "ladies and gentleman... we got him!"

[courtneyusmcwife]

Say what you want about him. But look at his face when he sees the pup. And the little kiss.

As a general rule in life I judge people by how children and dogs are around them. Putin passes the vibe check every time.
