In an amusing news doing rounds on the social media, Turkmenistan’s autocratic leader has established a national holiday to honor the local dog breed. The President ordered the holiday praising the Alabai, the Central Asian shepherd dog, to be celebrated on the last Sunday of April when the ex-Soviet nation also marks the day of the local horse breed. The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a common livestock dog that is found in Russia and other Central Asian countries, as the name suggests. It is also one of the most popular breeds that are found around the area.
