The bomb-sniffing dog has been helping Ukrainians locate Russian explosives since the start of the invasion.

Meet Patron, a bomb-sniffing Jack Russel terrier in Ukraine.

Since the start of the Russian invasion earlier this year, 2-year-old Patron has been busy at work detecting bombs and sniffing out landmines.

Before the invasion, the pup was formally trained as a bomb-sniffing dog for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and his training proved to be quite useful as he’s now serving in the Chernihiv region in northern Ukraine.

Thanks to his breed, Patron is a phenomenal bomb-sniffing ally. In fact, according to the American Kennel Club, Jack Russel Terriers are known for their incredible work ethic and eagerness to please.

Being bred as fox hunting dogs, they have a natural ability to use their senses to locate things and have been described as “tireless” when it comes to the hunt.

Beyond their general personality, Jack Russel terriers are also a great size for the job considering their body weight isn’t generally enough to trigger a landmine. They can walk right on top of one and alert their handler or bystanders before it’s too late.
