Even under active fire, Serhii would walk the streets of his evacuated neighborhood to help animals in need—and thankfully, he met PETA-supported rescuers from Animal Rescue Kharkiv. Together, they helped evacuate animals.

Serhii made sure to play with, walk, and socialize dogs who remained in the war-torn neighborhood. He even learned basic veterinary medicine to help treat injuries. One nervous dog, Bublik, was always excited to see him:

Just a few days later, the yard Bublik had been in was destroyed by a Russian missile.

Fortunately, ARK was able to help the animals and Serhii evacuate, and now Bublik and many others are safely recovering.
