The President of Turkmenistan has unveiled a giant gilded dog statue on a busy roundabout in the capital of the country. Turkmenistan's long ruling president Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has always praised the Alabai or Central Asian shepherd dog as national heritage. He's even penned a poem about them and gifted a pup to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
