Man travels 2,000 miles to rescue dogs from Ukraine - but red tape stops him bringing them home

A man travelled 2,000 miles and for more than 60 hours to rescue dogs from Ukraine - only to be told red tape prevents him bringing them back to Ireland.

Andy Cullen, 45, has been saving huskies for eight years and headed out to the war-torn country to help. But, eight days into his trip, he says he had been told that government rules in Ireland prevent him from bringing the pooches home.

Andy, from Dublin, claims officials called and said he would not be allowed to return with the dogs over rabies fears. Today (18/3), he and teammate Darran Bracken, 40, are going back to Kyiv from a small refugee camp in Przemysl, Poland to pick up 19 more dogs from a shelter.
