When thousands flee war leaving everything behind them and seeking safety beyond the border, Arya Aldrin, 20, a stranded medical student in Ukraine who hails from Munnar in Idukki, was not ready to abandon her pet dog, a Siberian Husky, which she got from a friend five months ago.
She risked everything to bring the pet to her home from the war zone. Though she is yet to reach home, she earned praise from all corners for rescuing the dog from the war front and bringing it with her on an evacuation flight to New Delhi.
Though she was turned down by the Air Asia flight to take the pet along with her to Kerala citing technical reasons, she would be arriving at the Cochin International Airport on an Air India flight on Friday with her pet dog named Zaira at 2 p.m.
