More than 3.1 million people have fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022. Thousands of Ukrainian refugees have been arriving at the Polish border each day with only what they can carry. For many, that includes a beloved dog, cat, hamster or bird - pets that offer at least some connection to the homes they left behind.

No one will be able to part from their pets in time like this. It's beautiful that they are so much responsible towards their pets.

[@jellibear2011]

My heart breaks for the poor innocent animals - of course they'll be stressed. Blessings on all these people who rescue and help them 🙏🙏

[@evelynfarfellwooosh1219]

Food for the starved Ukranians, at least it will make them last longer in the war.

[@runnyhunny786]

@Ellen Fang They aren't being bombed

[@homeschooledaroundtheworld4660]

I was impressed from the very beginning about how much they value their pets. My dog is like my baby and I could never leave her behind. ❤️

[@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj]

It is so sweet of them to take their pets with them. Pets are family! I feel so bad for everyone...

[@caibra88]

I'd never leave my dog behind. We are their whole world. Never leave your family behind. I have so much respect for the heros helping these poor creatures.

[@udaykovai428]

Pets are a great company. Stress busters. When I am stressed out, the very presence of my cat melts my heart and I forget myself and become happy.

[@tamilareiimbayeva]

My prayers are with you all Ukraine! Thank you all for rescuing the animals 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sheenawarecki92]

I am so sad for all the animals and people. They shouldn't be going through this at all :(. I could never leave my pets behind either so I understand their feelings.

That young lady's cat is so adorable!

That young lady's cat's hooman is adorable too!

[@MrBluffer88]

imagine the war torn town kid left behind in the rubbles and saw this video, ppl are saving the cats

[@barbaramacdonagh299]

Hopefully Putin will see this video and his heart will melt, enough to stop what he's doing here. Hopefully!

[@lauralafauve5520]

Because Ukrainian's have such loving hearts. 😽❤

[@alkasoli4002]

Just think about the anxiety even the animals there facing due to bombing..it is just heartbreaking

[@HowToChangeName]

Even in time of crisis, pet is still become humanity greatest companion and its essentially part of Ukrainian, thankfully most of them fled with their owner to safety

[@BG_miu]

Respect for these people 👏👏🌟

[@cecelialee2179]

May Ukraine be blessed always

[@RoccosVideos]

I wouldn’t leave my dog behind. ❤️🐶

[@namyelramiroam9587]

Look at that poor boy he knows something is not right and he's looking for or to comfort his owner

[@LynSain]

One of my favorite Ukrainian cat channel Teddy Kittens also made it. All cats and the owners are now safe and uploading videos like usual.

[@impulsiveurge5837]

She left her grandpa alone?! How could she?

[@miloradowicz]

My heart breaks at the sight of the emergency food supplies for brave Ukrainian freedom fighters being smuggled out of the country.

[@Braveheart.22]

If you love animals then don't eat them ⚘🐂

[@arimax888]

Meanwhile hundreds are missing after a capsized refugee boat was spotted near the coast of France. So depressing seeing the difference in coverage/worldwide reactions 😔

[@RoseUnseen]

imagine how much they worry for us .

[@FilosSofo]

Got to love how women can leave a husband or a father behind and then say a pet is the reason of their life. As if anyone needed an example of how disposable men are when the going gets hard.

[@mujkocka]

I am sure the husband or father want them to in a safe area. It’s not about leaving them behind. Especially the ones with children.

[@HWPlays]

Bruh some people didn't care about their pet

[@Pandurra]

People probably don’t have enough space to bring them too D:

[@FeliciaKrismanta]

There are no easy choices in war. Do you think they want to leave their home as well?

[@susisusi7179]

HIDUP BERDUA ,MATI BERSAMA 💘

[@brendatenorio5721]

Not a small connection, a big connection with home and security, and judging by the hands nervously petting pet's heads, a large measure of consolation and rememberance, perhaps just enough to keep emotionally n mentally afloat in a destroyed landscape or in a generous but foreign land.

[@spaceships.s]

No family left behind 🥺

[@uxtalzon]

Respect.

[@simrangrg5332]

Man putin needs to fix his brain I feel so sad for the pets

[@monkeystrive7501]

Poor animals😔

[@doraKitty23]

I wouldn't leave my pet too, left behind adult cat should be release so can survive of his own, i know becouse my cat is but i'll be miss them and they will also miss me so i just took them wherever i go, probably eXcept document then only my pet i am carry.

[@runnyhunny786]

The pets are not just a small connection to their home, many consider them FAMILY MEMBERS. NOT just an entertaining animate toy like thing around the home.

I love animals but they should let the Africans leave before they let pets no human comes after an animal especially in a dangerous war zone out in the elements smh

[@浦和-f5y]

These are pets not a stranger animals. They go with their owners. And who even created a rule like that? You? I'm glad that you're not being elected to be in decision making position.

[@Nolovelostboo]

@@浦和-f5y those are human beings excuse you Animals do not come first and there is a rule like that if there were all white and there were no room they will have to leave their pets it's a war zone
