Good boy, Bucks!

"Служебная собака по кличке Бакс выявила бутылку с героином" (K9 dog named Bucks found a bottle of heroin) is the title of the article published in AKIpress. It reported that a dog named Bucks helped to find a bottle of liquified heroin in a car that was coming from Osh, city in the south of Kyrgyzstan.

I got the impression that people viewed this article not because it was interesting (actually not really) but because the dog was named Bucks, which is a nickname used for President Bakiev among people. Comments on this article varied from accusations that it was a bad joke by AKIpress to joking on top of it, by saying that Bucks has a puppy named Max (nickname used for Presdident's son- widely accepted "grey cardinal" of KG).

Yep! Even if we can't swagger about our GDP growth rate or increasing salaries, we sure can proudly talk about our freedom of speech (at least reletatively free)! One of the reasons I love this country!

Oh, by the way the article is here (in Russian).
