However, in the private correspondence between them, Belopopski disclosed details about a visit
his father made while he resided in London in 1964. His dad brought him some lukanka from Bulgaria. Belopopski tossed the lukanka in the street where it was eaten by a dog, which became violently sick immediately, and died.
