Milka (dog)

Milka was a red female Cocker Spaniel dog owned by Joseph Stalin.[1][2][3][4] She was given to Stalin by Wilhelmina of the Netherlands as a gift for his 70th birthday.[5] Stalin gave Milka to his son Vasily Stalin as he was too old to care for it.[6] She eventually outlived Stalin by 8 years.[7][5] Milka birthed a litter of 22 puppies.[8] Her grandchild Dondon became a prestigious Soviet champion.[9][10]

After her death, Milka was taxidermied and is now displayed at the State Darwin Museum.[3]
