Storyline:

Recently, dogs adoption has become a widespread phenomenon in northern and eastern Syria. In one of the farms in eastern Qamishli, Hokar Hassan, raises dogs of different breeds, including German, French, and Ukrainian, in addition to well-known types in the region.

Hokar says that in the past people used to keep dogs for guarding but now people have become increasingly interested in adopting them in their homes.

Hooker plans a mating process for the animals to save some breeds of dogs from extinction.

“In the past, people were interested in keeping dogs for guarding, but now they adopt foreign dogs. I raise German, French and Ukrainian breeds. People adopt more than one and they demand types like the Husky and Doberman.”

“Some big-sized dogs could disappear from here, but people prefer them for guarding. I aim to keep this breed so I plan a mating process for them.”
