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.
The dog's name in real life was Higgins, who would later portray Benji in the movie of â¦ the same name. It should be noted that beginning with Season 5, Episode 21 Higgins Come Home, the dog was often referred to as Dog so it can be argued that the dog's name on the show was Dog.
