Russia has white on her chest and a mark at the back of her neck in the shape of a diamond. The pup is said to be on medication and needs regular visits to the vests, which is another concern for Afsha. The worried parent added: ...I just hope someone out there can help us get Russia home.... Similar dogs often sell for thousands of pounds, according to breeders.
