Putin's satellite-tracked dog not a harbinger for anything

Oh, Russia.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's black labrador dog, Koni, Friday was given a collar that will allow her master to track her movements by satellite. ... "She looks sad," Ivanov said. "Her free life is over."

"She is wagging her tail. That means she likes it," Putin said.

It's not like we don't have GPS-based dog collars here in the US. It's just somehow funnier when used by the ex-head of the RKGB.
