When Moscow’s pandemic lockdown left streets eerily quiet, an unseen crisis emerged: over 35,000 stray dogs suddenly lost access to food scraps and human kindness. But one journalist turned the challenge into a mission. 📍
Meet Elena Burova, a local reporter who swapped her notebook for a sack of dog food. With help from volunteers and strangers across the city, she’s become a lifeline for Moscow’s four-legged survivors. 🐶 \"Every life matters,\" she told NewspaperAmigo.com. \"Even paws have stories.\"
From makeshift feeding stations to covert rescue ops, Elena’s team works round the clock. 🌙 Their secret weapon? Community TikTok videos that rally donors and track hungry pups—proof that Gen Z’s love for memes can save lives. 🚨
\"It’s like ‘Resident Evil’ but with wagging tails,\" laughed volunteer Evgeny Bugubaev. Meanwhile, residents toss leftovers from balconies, creating a city-wide \"Hunger Games for good.\" 🥘✨
Got spare rubles? Elena’s crew says even a ❤️ emoji in their DMs boosts morale. After all, #GlobalGuardians don’t need capes—just compassion.
