Indian student refuses to leave Ukraine without pet dog

In a war-torn country where Ukrainians are struggling to survive attacks from Russia, citizens are left hiding in subway-turned-bunkers. People, especially students from across the world are stranded in Ukraine. Amidst this, Indian student, Rishabh Kaushik, a third-year student at the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics refuses to leave the country without his pet, Malibu. Even after countless tries and requests to the Ukrainian government to fly him down to his country along with his pet, and all needful documents, Rishabh’s attempts have failed. He stands by his dog whom he refuses to leave. This proves the man’s divine dedication and love for his furry friend.

Pets relieve stress

The mere presence of pets in our lives relieves us of stress and helps us appreciate life as it is. Pets’ presence is indeed very comforting and it even reduces feelings of loneliness. Surprisingly, pets also feel stressed when faced with a devasting situation. Rishabh also mentioned that his dog, Malibu was feeling very stressed every time a missile hit somewhere near.

Compassion for pets

Pets just want love and care from us. They want nothing more than to stay by our side and receive our affection. Rishabh refused to leave the country and when others asked him why he was risking his life for a dog, he replied, “if I return alone, who will take care of Malibu?”
