Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). In 1946, the AK-47 was presented for official military trials, and in 1948, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Soviet Army.
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Chinese Crested. Benji is a Chinese Crested / Chihuahua mix. He is 5 years old. Benji's birth was a complete accident - somehow the male Chihuahua got into the female Chinese Crested's inclosure, and soon enough, the breeder had ChiChi puppies! Benji is a Powderpuff Chinese Crested, meaning that he is very hairy instead of hairless.
There has been considerable confusion about what breed of dog Nana is. This is compounded by people getting confused about what breed of dog J. M. Barrie and his wife Mary had.... because they had two. In the script for the play, Barrie specifies that Nana is a Newfoundland. (Luath, the Barries' dog at that time, was a Newfoundland.) This is confirmed in the text of the novel Peter and Wendy. However, when Barrie first conceived Peter Pan, his dog was Porthos, a Saint Bernard.
