Unusual footage coming out of the Russian perspective today shows what is allegedly a group of Russian Marine engaging with Ukrainian forces and maneuvering through a firefight together.

No further context about this video currently exists as the entire focus of the content immediately caused mental dissonance in the viewers of the footage on Telegram because of the dog seen in the first few seconds. For some reason, a vast majority of people have dehumanized the Russian troops so much that they find it mentally impossible to believe that Russian troops would have a dog with them.

News flash: Disliking Russian troops doesn't make them less human. Strong chance the dog seen in this video is a stray that was abandoned by or lost by its owners early in the war. The dog saw these dudes, sauntered on up and started getting free good boy pats and rations from the Russian troops who liked having the dog around for morale purposes. He then chose to follow them because it was a solid source of food and warmth.

Doggo doesn't have enemies. Doggo just wants a snack and a good boy pat. He doesn't care who gives it to him.
