One Olympian found the puppies of all those stray dogs roaming around Sochi.
You've probably heard about the fact that there are tons of stray dogs in Sochi. They're on the cross country course,they're at the opening ceremony, they're in some sort of weird shanty town. There are tons of stray dogs in Sochi, and you can go to Deadspin for adorable pictures of all of Sochi's stray dogs.
Anyway: US slopestyle skier Gus Kenworthy found one of those dogs' stray puppies. (incidentally, also via Deadspin, who are owning the puppy beat)

— Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) February 11, 2014Kenworthy is doing his best to take care of 'em:
Also, for the people wondering, I've lined up kennels 4 the pups & made vaccination appointments. Doing all I can to bring them home w/ me!

They're as cute and need a home just as badly as the dogs on the other side of the world. Not to mention it will be much easier and significantly cheaper. So maybe do that, although, oh no, you don't have an exotic puppy backstory.
