Georgian Prosecutor General Irakly Okruashvili told the press about plans to auction off some of former Ajarian leader Aslan Abashidze\'s property, in particular, three expensive Hummer vehicles as well as pedigree dogs. \"Taking care of these dogs cost much more than the healthcare expenses for Ajaria\'s Khelvachauri district,\" Okruashvili said. Meanwhile, the television company Mze showed outdoor cages in which about 200 of Abashidze\'s pedigree dogs, primarily Caucasian shepherd dogs, are kept.

Mze said Abashidze spent some $20,000 monthly on taking care of the dogs. Mze also showed Abashidze\'s favorite Caucasian shepherd Basmach, who has refused to eat for a third day while waiting for his master. (Interfax)
