Figure skater Trusova showed a new pet

Russian figure skater Alexandra Ignatova (before her marriage, Trusova) announced on August 14 that she had acquired another dog named Tao—Tao.

"We only took one dog for ourselves! Her name is Tao Tao, which means "peach" in Chinese," the athlete wrote on her Telegram channel, adding a video with a pet to the publication.

Trusova added that another dog, a boy named Tan-Tan ("sugar" from Chinese), would be taken to Moscow as a gift. The procedure for processing all documents for dogs is currently underway, the figure skater clarified.

"The dogs are just a miracle, my heart bleeds when I remember the conditions they lived in... I'll tell you about this and everything else in a little more detail when we get back," Trusova shared.
