#1 Ukraine
This is Pes Patron (Dog Cartridge). This little buddy is employed by State Emergency Services of Ukraine as a mine detection dog. He became so popular here and was promoted to official mascot of the emergency service. There is entire Patron subculture going on here, like cartoons, songs, merch etc. Despite being the most famous Ukrainian dog, this little fella still does his work at emergency service helping detecting mines and other ordnance.

#4 Estonia
Men rescue a dog that had fallen through ice, warmed it up and drove it to the vet clinic in their lap. It was a wolf.
Wolf is also the national animal of Estonia, so very fitting.

A Coywolf (Eastern Coyote) across the street from my front door.
She’s semi-famous: her specialty is walking the sidewalks in urban areas in broad daylight looking like an off-leash dog. She’s figured out street lights, and always crosses major streets at the crosswalk and waits for the walk signal! Locals have given her the name “Bunny”.

The Scottish Wildcat (a sub-population of European Wildcat), rarer every year as most are now hybrids with domestic cats. Really one of the last bastions of wild cats in the UK. Woven into our culture as Cat-sìth, a legend of large black cats (maybe Kellas Cats an early hybrid) who were witches / fairy folk. Also why in Scotland black cats are lucky unlike the rest of the UK.
