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.
A: The dog that played the original Benji was adopted from the Burbank Animal Shelter by trainer Frank Inn. The second dog to play Benji was Higgins' daughter. That pup made three movies, four television specials, and a TV series. The third, and current Benji, was adopted from the Humane Society of South Mississippi after a search in shelters all across the country, and starred in the 2004 film Benji Off the Leash.
