Heartbroken Ukrainian grandmother, 86, in Ireland to be reunited with beloved 12-year-old dog after being separated by war

A black Labrador named Tasha is set to be reunited with her Ukrainian owner in the west of Ireland on Sunday after they were separated due to the war in their homeland.

Violetta, an 86-year-old grandmother from Odessa, fled her country with her family when the war with Russia first broke out and she attempted to bring her 12-year-old dog with her.

She was devastated when they were forced to separate in Romania as Violetta could not carry her “best friend” any further and Tasha was taken in by a kind Romanian family.
