This is the emotional moment a Ukrainian grandmother in Ireland was finally reunited with her beloved dog in county Clare today.
Violetta, 86, from Odessa, was separated from her "best friend", a 12-year-old black Labrador named Tasha, for weeks due to the war in their homeland but they were brought back together again on Sunday.
The elderly lady had sat outside patiently all morning, wrapped up in a red puffer jacket and with a ball in her hand, waiting for Tasha to arrive.
