Item Description

2022 war in Ukraine card and postal envelope for stamp “Dog Patron”
The postal issue is dedicated to Patron the dog - a favorite of adults and children, a mascot of Ukrainian rescuers, a welcome guest at public events.

Since the beginning of the war, a Jack Russell terrier nicknamed Patron has served in the team of pyrotechnicians of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Two years ago, the head of the pyrotechnic group of the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Chernihiv region gave his son a puppy. The four-legged dog was being prepared for exhibitions, but because of the war he had to become a sapper.

In addition to serving, Patron is present at press conferences, meetings with foreign leaders, and also visits children in hospitals.

Patron was awarded the "For devoted service" medal.

"Pes Patron" - the first charity postage stamps of Ukraine, issued with an additional denomination of 8 UAH. Charitable contributions collected in this way by Ukrposhta will be used to purchase a mechanized demining machine and provide assistance to animal shelters.
