Several four-legged performers played the main role in the show.
The detective series “Dog” made Nikita Panfilov and Mikhail Zhonin famous throughout the country. The artists who played the main roles in the project woke up as real stars after the first episodes. At the same time, few people know who got the role of the Dog himself.
So, in the first seasons, policeman Max’s four-legged partner was a male dog named Count. By the time the first episode was filmed, he was already an experienced performer and had appeared in many popular shows. In the third season, the Count was replaced by Mukhtar, his son. The dog did not immediately manage to build trusting relationships with Panfilov and other artists, but thanks to the work of dog handlers, they became true friends not only on the screen, but also in real life.
The audience had no idea that the producers had replaced the four-legged artist. Discussing the episodes, fans are still surprised that the dog has not aged during the six seasons of filming.
