The first forest-restoring dog appeared in Russia.

      October 17, 2025 16:38 Society — A dog named Riki has become part of the team working on the restoration of Russia's forests. This was reported by 360.ru.

      To carry out this important mission, Riki was fitted with special equipment that allows sowing up to several square kilometers of land per day.

      The environmental project "Save the Forest" plants up to 100,000 trees annually, and this unusual approach involving dogs has become an important part of it. The organizers invite other four-legged friends who enjoy running across fields to take part.

      "If you have dogs that enjoy active walks, send in their resumes. We have an open vacancy for four-legged sowers," the organizers invite.

      They ironically note that the working conditions are decent, and the pay is higher than that of couriers in large cities.

      "Your participation and that of your pets can breathe new life into Russia's nature. Together we are planting the future," the organizers commented, emphasizing the importance and significance of this initiative. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has a Telegram channel.
