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.
All the dogs that played the Benji dog were mixed breeds from animal shelters. Looking at them, it is definitely hard to tell exactly which terrier breed they are. However, it can be accurately assumed that all of these dogs were at least part Tibetan Terrier.
