A dog from a small village in Belarus has inherited a fortune of nearly $1 million from a US citizen of Belarusian origin. The 10-year-old dog, Zhulik (Swindler), inherited the fortune from late John Fyodorov, who was born in Budochka village but migrated to the US after World War II, Respublika daily reported. According to Zhulik’s owner Vasily Potapov, Fyodorov visited the small village in Belarus in 2007 and said the dog reminded him of his dog Valet that died in 1950s. Valet was ill at that time but while deciding between an expensive surgery for the dog and buying a ticket to Sacramento, Fyodorov chose the latter. The dog died but since then Fyodorov could not forgive himself for the death of his best friend. So he chose to expiate by indulging on a dog that belonged to his native country Belarusia, a landlocked country is eastern Europe.
