A woman has adopted a dog that ‘saved her life’ as she hid in a basement for a week as bombs shelled her home in Ukraine.
Refugee Daryna Sarig told how the Spitz, named Marcel, cuddled up to her when she was curled on the floor in “terror” as explosions hit her building in Kharkiv last week.
The pet’s owners had fled the country and abandoned him, but Daryna could not bear to leave Marcel, and brought him as she boarded a train alone to cross into Poland on Wednesday morning.
