Psa je lično odlikovao ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski na ceremoniji održanoj tokom konferencije za medije s kanadskim premijerom Trudoom.
- Danas želim da nagradim ukrajinske heroje koji čiste našu zemlju od mina. S našim herojima je i predivni mali pas Patron koji pomaže u neutralisanju eksploziva i edukaciji naše dece o neophodnim bezbednosnim pravilima u područjima gde postoji opasnost od mina - izjavio je Zelenski.
