A resident of Ukraine has come across a dog which he believes strikes an uncanny resemblance to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to a report by The Moscow Times, the find was originally documented in a local newspaper. The canine with a presidential look was found in central Ukraine, and it has sparked memes in the area.

Photos of President Putin and its doppelganger have created a buzz on social media. Now that I look at photos of the pair side by side, I can see the similarities.

The shape of the eyes is about the same, and the piercing gaze gives the pooch a presidential look. Both look like they are not kidding around.

The canine has been described as a mix between a Staffordshire terrier and a German shepherd.
