A British bus driver who left his job to selflessly help Ukrainian refugees and their pets fleeing war has shared his experiences at the border - both the incredible moments and the most heartbreaking. When Russia launched an invasion on Ukraine last February, Dave Wise made the decision to hand in his notice and embark on the biggest mission of his life.
The 46-year-old filled his silver Ford Mondeo with generous donations from strangers and drove 26 hours from East Sussex to the Romania-Ukraine border. Dave and his wife Hannah, 30, who voluntarily run animal charity Paws and Whiskers Sussex (PAWS) came up with the idea after seeing the devastation in the news.
