you will be able to guess the name of the country where I am.

This bronze statue was pointed out to me by my private guide who asked me who the dog resembled. I looked and looked at different angles and then hesitantly finally gave her my answer. Could it really be? Yes!!! Amazing, since the president is current and the dog was sculpted almost 500 years ago.

I'll be home in another 2 weeks with more photos.

Update:
Being in a country where opinions and frankness are not appreciated, I was almost "afraid" to state who I felt this statue strongly resembles. However, my guide coaxed and coaxed and then verified that I was right that this dog indeed looks like Putin. Look at the face... In real life and 3-D, the resemblance is even stronger than my photo.

Of course, this wasn't the first time Putin was compared to a dog: https://www.eonline.com/news/461432/this-dog-looks-exactly-like-vladimir-putin
