New friends at the MIK

There is significant number of semi wild dogs wandering around in the cosmodrome. They seem to have adapted rather well the cold conditions of this land.

They are of different colors (from beige to brown) but all look like big sized shepherd-type dogs. May be not a pure pedigree but most likely mongrel.

Food at this time of the year in the (frozen) steppe is certainly a challenge. Then, one can guess they are partly fed by the people occupying the facilities of the cosmodrome.

There are several of them at the MIK, and sometimes they come in the morning to sniff our lunch container when the team arrives at the MIK and unload then from the bus.

Few days ago we had the chance to observe from the MIK window 3 beautiful puppies likely born in the vicinity of the site 31.
