The press service said that the guardians of the dog left Kherson when their house was destroyed.
"We found the dog while inspecting the homes of Kherson residents damaged after the shelling by Russian troops. He was sitting tied up in his yard, and there were terrible ruins around him. The fluffy one miraculously survived," said Oleg Martaloga, deputy chief of the Rozdilnya district police department.
The press service said that the police took the dog home and named it Black. With good care and a sensitive attitude, the dog quickly recovered from stress and became cheerful.

"For Ukrainians, every life is priceless," the message said.
