In Moscow, Russia, a woman named Elena Kniazeva found an abandoned dog who was waiting for its owner to come back – turns out that its former owner told it to ‘stay put’ but never returned. The dog had only remained there out of loyalty – for a week before it was found.
Elena brought the dog to a nearby shelter, and gave it a new name – Luke. Luke quickly got along with the resident pooches at the shelter, especially with one significant other.

Luke was another abandoned dog found with his ears cut off beside his dead sibling.

Dennis and Luke found solace in one another, and became fast friends. Together, they set off to look for a new home outside Russian territory – thanks to their adopters!
