"This dog will be handed to France in a testament of solidarity with the French people," the Russian Interior Ministry tweeted on Friday.

A suicide bomber killed Diesel in the line of duty during a raid in connection with last week's terrorist attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people. French National Police called Diesel's role in the operation "indispensable."

After Diesel's death, animals around the world paid tribute to the fallen canine hero. The hashtag #JeSuisChien and #JeSuisDiesel emerged in a showing of support and gratitude.
