We can only imagine what Ukkie and Sammy must be thinking right now...

Their story began when a group of expats from Russia and Ukraine, living in Batumi, Georgia, started feeding and rescuing homeless dogs along a busy road. Among the dogs who crossed their path were Ukkie and Sammy. With limited resources in Georgia, they arranged for them to be sent to a rescue in Moscow, hoping to give them a second chance at life.

The two became roomates and best friends... Fast forward a few months and Ukkie and Sammy found their forever homes through Sochi Dogs in New York City — within blocks of each other!

This is their first reunion. It's amazing what we can do when we work together.
