Story
This JustGiving page was created to support Igor and his dog Zhu-Zhu after his 225km walk from the hellscape of the besieged port city of Mariupol, out into the badlands of Russian-occupied territories and on to the relative safety of the Ukrainian-held city of Zaporizhzhia as reported by Daniel Boffey of the Guardian Newspaper on the 13th May 2022.

All the money donated will go directly to Igor and Zhu-Zhu.

2 years agoIgor and Zhu Zhu have asked me to thank everyone who has been so very kind in making donations. Zhu Zhu has now seen a vet in Kyiv and is on medication to reduce the swelling in his injured leg. He has had some X rays and some blood tests and the vet is looking into what else might be done to help get him get back to full health

Give sweet Zhu-Zhu hugs and kisses and cuddles for me! I know as well as you do that there is no such thing as “just a dog”—they’re our family. God bless both of you.
