Bari was exhausted.
He had lost his vision some time before the war started, but that didn’t stop the dog from becoming adept at finding somewhere safe to sleep and a caring person to give him food.
Then everything changed. Suddenly, he was surrounded by loud noises and strange, awful scents. It seemed like all the humans had disappeared.
The dog’s old bones ached as he scrambled to find a safe place to rest and enough food to keep going.
Then one day, someone gently scooped him up and took him to a nearby animal shelter. Although he was no longer hungry, the air raid sirens and bombs were so jarring that all the animals there lived in a state of panic. One night, the whole building shook as a bomb tore through it. Bari was terrified, but he was miraculously uninjured. PETA Germany arrived to help not long afterward, and soon Bari and the other survivors were heading out of the war zone to a shelter near the Hungarian border. There he found loving humans who provided constant affection, regular meals, and an occasional treat. Best of all, there were no more loud booms and sirens to frighten him. Thanks to PETA Germany and its partners, Bari was provided with a passport, a microchip, and vaccinations. Soon afterward, he began an epic journey to Düsseldorf, Germany. Now he’s become part of a loving family alongside two other rescued dogs, ducks, and geese. Bari is finally home.
