Quote: "A small, bright-feathered creature in this cold abyss of destruction. Someone cared for him, was his family; someone may have whispered gentle words to him before the world split in two.
In such moments you realise how fragile our present is and how brutal this war is. But life always finds a crack to survive."
Details: It also became known from social media that a dog named Lucky was found among the ruins. The animal had been under the rubble for six hours.
Another dog, Spark, was also found. His owners reported that after the strike the dog was frightened and ran out of the flat.
However, many animals are still being searched for after the strike, including two cats named Miia and Lilu, a cat named Thomas and a cat named Marusia. This was reported by the animal protection organisation Animagus.
