When I was in Kyrgyzstan I saw on TV what appeared to be a Russian copy of Kommissar Rex. Not just a dubbed version, but another show copying it. Since I can't speak Russian I didn't understand it - but it looked that way to me. The dog wasn't a patch on Rex though, it seemed far less agile and less intelligent, and needed to be directed or nudged on occasion. I've been trying to find information on it, and have found a reference to a show called "Mukhtar Returns", apparently about three police officers with a German Shepherd. Are there any Russians out there who can give further info? Is it really what I thought it was - a Rex rip-off?
