Elizabeth Baker

Спасибо, что рассказали. Интересно, что батюшка Александр Черемухин из Алексиевского храма был на выпуске. Молодцы ребята, теперь с собаками работать будут.

Marija Pavlović

Yes, father Aleksandr Cheremukhin часто бывает таких событиях в Егорьевске. Young guys, working with dogs is serious, especially in MVD. Спасибо за фото, видно, что выпуск прошёл душело.

Nicholas Lewis

Хорошо, что отец Александр был там — он всегда на таких событиях в Егорьевске появляется. Ребята теперь с серьёзной службой, собаки дело ответственное. Спасибо за фото, видно, что всё прошло по-людски.

Александар Ристески

Good thing Father Alexander Cheremukhin was there. I remember when my daughter worked with service dogs in the police, it's serious business. The boys will have a big responsibility now, let's make it work for everyone.

Jelena Popović

I agree, Marija, Batjuska Aleksandar really regularly comes to events like this in Yegorjevska. The boys worked seriously with the dogs, it can be seen in the pictures. Were you at the ceremony itself?

Grace King

Thanks, Elizabeth. I didn't know Fr. Alexander was there—nice to see him supporting the local guys starting their work with the dogs. Our parish has a couple of former service-dog handlers, and they always say the dogs make all the difference in tough calls.

Владо Ристески

Yes, it's serious business with service dogs, I agree. My daughter was also in the police force for a few years and she used to say that your dog becomes a partner, not just a tool. To be useful to all guys, especially now when the responsibility is great.

Mihai Nistor

Father Alexandru Cheremuhin often appears at such events in Egorievsk, it can be seen that he is in touch with the world there. Serious work with service dogs, no joke – a colleague of mine in accounting had an uncle who worked with them in the police force and said the animal becomes more important than any equipment. Congratulations guys, good luck.

Michael Turner

Nice to hear that, Grace. Fr. Alexander has always been good about showing up for these local events. Our guys at the parish who worked with service dogs always said the same thing—the dog’s instincts often read a situation faster than any of us could. Did any of your former handlers ever bring their dogs to a parish picnic?

Ana Stanković

I wasn't at the ceremony itself, but I know that Father Aleksandar is always there when needed for things like this in Yegorjevsk. Dogs are really serious business, especially in the MUP, you can see how much effort they put in. Thanks for the photos, it looks really nice.

Магдалена Ристеска

Yes, you are right, the dog really does become part of the team. My daughter used to tell me similar stories when she was a police trainee. I hope these guys will be careful, especially now that the job is even tougher.

Снежана Стојановска

Yes, the dog really does become like a member of the family for those guys. My friend from Tetovo, who works with service dogs, told me the same thing – without trust, nothing works. I wonder, did your daughter tell you about any funny moments at practice?

Владо Ристески

Yes, it is true that the dog becomes part of the family, without trust nothing really works. My daughter was telling me about one day when the practice dog started barking at an ordinary plastic garbage can and everyone laughed. And your friend from Tetovo, does she have a smile that she remembers from her dogs?

Даниела Николовска

Yes, Vlado, it is true that without trust, nothing works with dogs. The story about the plastic garbage made me laugh, at our clinic we often have similar moments when patients bring pets. And did your daughter continue working with dogs or did she switch to something else?

Трајче Ристески

Yes, Vlado, it is true that the dog becomes a partner. My daughter was telling me how their dog once saved her from a serious situation during a night patrol. I hope these new guys will also take care of their four-legged colleagues like family.

Марија Николовска

Yes, it is true that without trust nothing works with those dogs. My daughter was telling me how one dog in practice started rolling on the grass instead of listening to a command and everyone was laughing all week. And your friend from Tetovo, does she have any such funny story?

Јасмина Стојановска

Yes, Daniela, it is true that trust is everything for dogs, without it, even training is not possible. We had a dog trainer at our church who told similar things about their "surprises" with garbage. And your clinic in Tetovo, do they often bring you police dogs or are more and more pets?

Никола Ангеловски

Yes, Jasmina, it is true that without confidence training is in vain. Here in Skopje, in the church, we had an elderly man who told how his service dog once found his lost prayer book in the garden. And you, how do you know that cynologist you mentioned?

Александар Ристески

Yes, Jasmina, here in Ohrid we had a similar story with a dog trainer who came to church and told how his dog once found the lost key to the house in the forest. At your clinic in Tetovo, do some of those service dogs come with injuries from training or more often with ordinary diseases?

Стефан Ристески

Yes, Aleksandar, at our clinic in Tetovo, they usually come with ordinary things – inflamed paws from running or stomach problems from food that does not suit them. Interesting that in Ohrid you have such a story with the dog and the key, it sounds like a real miracle to me. And does that dog trainer continue to come to church?

Игор Стојановски

Yes, Aleksandar, here in Ohrid too, the dog found the key in the forest all day long. In our garden, I often see service dogs when they come for a walk after training, they look tired but happy. Does your dog trainer still come to church to tell stories?

Владо Ристески

That's right, Nikola, without trust nothing happens with people or dogs. Here in Tetovo, we had an official dog trainer who every day brought the dog to the liturgy to lie still by the entrance. And you, what was the name of that elderly man from Skopje who told that about the prayer book?

Горан Ангеловски

That's right, Vlado, without trust in both dogs and people, nothing works. I remember that elderly man from Skopje, his name was Dimche, he told how the dog trainer from Tetovo took the dog to the liturgy and it lay down as calmly as a lamb. My middle son, by the way, now works with service dogs in the police and says that the most important thing is to feel the animal as a collaborator, not just a tool.

Никола Ангеловски

Yes, Igor, I remember well that story with the key in the forest near you in Ohrid. Our dog trainer still comes to church, last month he told us how the dog helped him find a lost phone in the forest near Egorjevsk. And in your garden, do the same service dogs still come or have they changed?

Елена Илиевска

Yes, Igor, I remember that story with the key in the forest near you in Ohrid, my grandson told me several times. Here in Bitola, the service dogs also come to the garden after training, but they seem more hungry than happy. Does your dog trainer still tell stories in church or does he only work with the dog now?

Јасмина Стојановска

Yes, Stefan, here in Tetovo, such ordinary problems with the paws or the stomach also often appear. That cynologist from Ohrid continues to come to church, at least according to what I heard last month at the liturgy. And at your clinic, do any of the owners tell about an interesting case with a dog that you remember?

Магдалена Ристеска

Yes, Igor, I remember that story with the key. The same two service dogs still come to our garden, one is very calm and the other a little nervous when he sees a cat. And your dog trainer, does he still take it to church or does he have a new one now?

Дарко Николовски

Yes, Nikola, I remember that story with the key near Ohrid. Last month, our cynologist told us about the same dog that found his phone in the forest near Egorjevsk, and now he takes it to liturgy. In your garden, do they still have the calm dog or did they change it?
