Newsday - Dog on Ukraine’s frontline rehomed in US - BBC Sounds

Meet Barsik, a Ukrainian dog rescued from the frontline by a soldier.

He was hit in a rocket attack and had his leg amputated but has since found a new home in the US courtesy of animal rescue, Transform A Street Dog. Its founder and director, Mandy Allen told Newsday: “There was a soldier who actually took Barsik off the battlefield…his leg was blown off by a grad rocket missile. The only place they could take him was a regular doctor…and they saved him.”
