During a recent drone strike on the outskirts of Odesa, a dog breeding facility was significantly damaged. A dog named Ichi managed to escape, but the owner, Oksana Prokhorova, quickly launched a search for him.

In a conversation with reporters, Oksana shared details about the evening attack and confirmed that the missing dog was found.

"The night was terrifying. The explosions were so loud that windows shattered. Doors flew off in the breeding area... The most powerful blast ignited the kennel, causing the dog to flee, but he was located by morning," Oksana stated.

One of the dogs from Orenburg experiences stress during shelling and stays with her owner in the bathroom during air raid alerts.

"The noise was deafening. My husband ran in and just lay on top of us. At that moment, an explosion occurred," the woman recalled.

The dog that escaped was in his kennel during the blast. He ran away in fear:

"Fortunately, he was in the kennel. By night, we saw he was unharmed, — we would find him. All the dog owners were trying to help with the search at night, but it was only in the morning, when it got light, that we found him."
