When Olena, of Ukranian animal welfare organisation Love Furry Friends, was contacted by a kind samaritan, she immediately agreed to help.
They had spotted a lonely, shivering dog, who had been lying in the same spot under a tree for days. When Olena arrived, she witnessed a heartbreaking sight. A black ball of fur was huddled in the cold grass - freezing and completely terrified.
A heartwarming moment
Olena carefully approached the dog, expecting her to run away
But instead of running, something unexpected happened. The female dog suddenly rolled onto her back – a sign of absolute trust. It's as if she wanted to say to Olena, "thank you for seeing me."
With a gentle smile, Olena started to pet the sweet stray, who immediately snuggled up to her. The heartwarming moment was captured on camera, moving millions of people to tears around the world.
An emotional farewell
After an emotional farewell with the lady who found her, Olena took Lyly, as she was later named, to the vet.
A check-up brings welcome news. Lyly is healthy and in good overall condition.
Having been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed, she joined Olena's rescue, where she will be cared for until she finds her family.
What does the future hold for this gentle furry soul? It's still uncertain. But Love Furry Friends is doing everything possible to find her a loving home.
