Owning a pet is a full-time responsibility since they depend on their owners to survive, which is why animal lovers around the world have been left outraged after hearing what a Russian couple did to their dog when it interfered with travel plans.
Recently, a Russian couple went on a trip to Germany to visit their kids, who had been living with their grandmother in Hamburg. The couple planned on bringing their small dog, Tori, with them on the trip, however, when they got to the check-in counter at the airport, they found out they didn’t have the necessary paperwork to bring a pet on the flight.
Rather than delay their flight or call a friend to look after the dog, the couple brought Tori outside and left her in the snow in her zip-up dog carrier. Once back at the check-in counter, they claimed a friend had taken her and continued on their vacation.
When they arrived in Germany, the couple’s children was distraught when they heard about their beloved dog, and the couple reached out online three days later for volunteers to look for Tori. “We are looking for our little dog; she is white with a flick of ginger. Our children can’t stop crying, please can you help? We’re ready to pay a fine,” she wrote.
Unfortunately, the tiny dog didn’t stand a chance in the –22-degree weather, and by the time rescuers found her, she had passed away. “If only we knew about the problem, at least the dog would be alive. The weather was so cold on those days,” said Dmitry Tyukhtin, a spokesman for Koltsovo airport. “Tori was left in an area where there are usually no people. If she was to be left closer to or inside the terminal, the dog would have been rescued.”
The tragic story has since gone viral and animal lovers around the world are signing a petition demanding that the couple be ‘punished’ and ‘jailed’ for their cruelty and carelessness.
