Bringing you a little bit of joy today! Before Pen heads back in this week, we wanted to share even more lovely footage of some of our beautiful dogs evacuated from Kramatorsk.

Meet Khoshbakht (which means “Lucky” in Dari), a brave little puppy who has truly lived up to his name. ❤️ Khoshbakht’s journey to us was not an easy one. Born by the ro
