You probably have never heard about this town,
My name is Bonya and I am from Kupyans’k.  
You probably have never heard about this town, but it’s located in Kharkiv district on the East of Ukraine. I am already 3 years old, and my humans say that my name means «Happy fate", probably, it’s true, as I am here to tell you about my life.  

I was brought to my new home on the 8th of March. I took a pinch of happiness with me for two little children, and made our home filled with different type of love. My master says that it makes me different from other pets she met, the way I express myself.  
 
Then the day came that changed everything, and we had to leave. Our home stopped being the safest place and I couldn’t continue sleeping in my favourite corner anymore. 
The road was bringing us further and further away, from everything I knew, everything I remember. Those new smells were hitting my nose so strong, making me trample and stress. We were heading to Ireland. 
 
I saw my humans became more relaxed, as we arrived, but not for long.  
They were told I had to quarantine for a month, but I had never been alone for so long, never away from them. Did you know the dogs can cry? Now you know! But I was not the only one crying, my little friends, my kids, it was heartbreaking, the volunteers couldn’t help. I had to leave… 
 
Likely, after 10 days I could reunite with all my family. I knew they felt guilty, I saw my human cry as she felt like a traitor, but there was no need for forgiveness, I was just happy to be back. I am the luckiest dog and I am safe.   

Love. Bonya
