Its all nice warm and fuzzy until someone brings one of them home that is carrying rabies. Fingers start to point everywhere. Rabies is still a great problem in Russia and the Middle East.

"I don’t understand why Sochi has this problem is because they have big Islamic community radical islamicist are forcing animal lover in Russia give up their animals dogs are consider unclean in Islamic religion"

But therein you've solved the puzzle. An overabundance of dogs in Sochi is DESIGNED TO WARD OFF MUSLIMS.

Further, I predict Russian Customs by order of a Putin special exception will allow Kenworthy to take the puppies back to Colorado. This is a great PR move designed to show his compassion while at the same time Russia's strength evidenced by a successful Olympic team.

Kenworthy has already made arrangements to have his puppies screened with a vet.. His problem is the ‘bitch’.. Does he try to take the mom home with the puppies, too? Hmmm..

“Good luck getting those puppies through customs.”

Getting dogs through customs is not as hard as you think.

The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County gets about 5 dogs from Hong Kong each year without problems.
