“Two very big things have come out of Ukraine recently for me: music (some amazing performances like the Bach 'Cello Suite played in a bombed-out theatre) and dogs. Patron, but all the others too. Sure signs of good hearts,” wrote a Twitter user. “How Zelenskyy resisted the urge to give Patron some scritches I will never know. But then again, he is demonstrably a much stronger person than most,” shared another. “Cute hero,” posted a third.

On March 19, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security shared a video of Patron at work on their official Twitter handle.

“A dog called Patron, who works with SES rescuers in Chernihiv, has helped defuse nearly 90 explosive devices since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. One day, Patron's story will be turned into a film, but for now, he is faithfully performing his professional duties,” they wrote. Take a look at the video:
