This is a sad story with a happy ending. It shows how much humans love our dogs.
An elderly woman in the Ukraine found herself in a bad situation. When her husband died, her sister-in-law sold the house out from underneath her. She could have moved in with someone, but no one would take her dogs.
So, she took her meager belongings and her dogs and she lived at the local dumps. There she took care of the other strays that passed through.
Somehow her plight became known to a volunteer at a local animal shelter who decided to help the woman. The dogs need help with mange and the woman needed a home. But, she would not be separated from them.
After some thinking, the volunteers at the shelter found the woman a cottage that she could live in with her dogs. The cottage was not perfect. By chance a stranger offered the woman another home. Now she, her dogs, and those she adopted at the dump have a place to live.
Sadly, the shelter itself has fallen on hard times and now it needs rescuing. In the Spring, they will lose the place they have rented for their shelter. Hopefully, some stranger will help them find a place so they can continue their good work.
