Alla said: “She had been brought by her owners, then they disappeared somewhere. The noise of the train scared her…”
Upon Maru’s escape, her owners were called and asked to help in the search for her. They refused, however, and Alla says they did not care at all that the dog was lost.
“They gave the dog away and the load fell off their shoulders,” the kennel owner said.
Incredibly, Maru was eventually found just two and a half days later in Krasnoyarsk; the town where her former owners lived. Alla said it was incredibly lucky that she hadn’t been attacked by bears or wolves during the journey, with it suspected that she followed the railway track all the way back home.
