Diesel's death prompted variations of the hashtag #JeSuisUnChien, meaning "I am a dog" in French, as Twitter users offered their sympathies.

Currently, Dobrynya is in Moscow. Once the pup is properly screened, he'll be sent to France where he'll become the newest member of the force. (Video via RT)
