In a comment to Suspilne, the woman shared her terrifying experience of the evening attack, confirming that the missing dog had been found.

"The night was extremely frightening. There was a powerful explosion, windows shattered. Doors in the kennel area were blown off... The biggest impact caused the kennel to catch fire, the dog ran away, but it was located by morning", — the kennel owner stated.

One of the dogs from Orenburg gets stressed during shelling, so during air raid alerts, she stays with her owner in the bathroom.
