Tolstoy's Dog

The titan of Russian literature, Tolstoy, penned grand masterpieces like 'War and Peace.' However, during his time living in the countryside, his favorite pastime was walking his beloved dog, 'Bulka,' in the forest. Bulka was a gentle-natured pup, incredibly devoted. Whenever Tolstoy sat beneath a tree contemplating ideas for his writing, Bulka would quietly lie at his feet, keeping him company. On one occasion, Tolstoy accidentally lost his glove outdoors. Bulka, relying on scent alone, ran several kilometers and returned with the glove in its mouth. Tolstoy was deeply moved and later even included Bulka's story in his collection of short stories, ensuring this adorable dog would be remembered alongside his literary works to this day.
