A woman in Ukraine was recently reunited with her missing dog thanks to K9 Global Rescue, a group of combat veterans and volunteers rescuing animals in the country during Russias invasion.
The group was rounding up lost animals in a village and handing out pet food to residents when a woman recognized one of the dogs.
“She gasped, took a step back, and said JACK??” the group wrote alongside a video of the reunion on Facebook. She went back into a house to get the dogs owner, an older woman. “Initially she was angry but then realized that we had found her lost boy and that anger quickly turned into a wave of emotions,” the group said.
The video shows Jack being let out of his crate and running to the younger woman. “I love you, I love you, I love you,” the older woman tells the rescuer in English as she hugs him.
The rescuer says she had been searching for the dog for a month after it ran away during the height of the shelling. The group said they found the “ skinny, scared, and friendly dog” on the other side of the village.
“Although we had never met and spoke two completely different languages, it was clear that we fully understood,” the group said. “Knowing that we were able to bring a lost soul home to their family is so gratifying.”
