Watch hungry Ukrainian dogs queue for tasty treats in Donetsk after volunteers installed a dog feeder in a newly liberated area.
Dog lovers haven’t had much to celebrate lately when they see the news from the front lines, but it’s not all doom and gloom in Ukraine.
Film producer Nate Mook said he installed a makeshift dog feeder in the eastern city of Kramatorsk.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. Yesterday in Kramatorsk (with your support!) we set up an animal feeding station for displaced people,” he said. “This morning the Ukrainian dogs were lining up to eat.”
The dogs are seen politely waiting their turn to eat, remembering their manners despite their ordeal at the front.
“No crowds and crowds. No fighting. Everyone politely waits their turn,” noted one social media user.

Cats also used the feeding station and appreciated the food left behind by the Good Samaritans
Dogs weren’t the only animals using the feeder, with local cats stopping by for a free meal.
Mook has also spent his time rescuing kittens from the Ukrainian front lines and helping the fluffy animals get to safety.
But Mook doesn’t limit his altruism to pets. He was also caught building a shelter for raccoons in the war-torn country.
“We have identified a tremendous need for support for the animals,” Mook told The Dodo. “Dogs and cats that used to have homes.”
Mook recently helped deliver £500 of donated feed to an animal shelter in Sviatohirsk.
He set up a PayPal link to help animals affected by the war in Ukraine.
Less than an hour’s drive away, Russian troops are plunging into Ukraine’s eastern front.
“The main hotspots in Donbass are Soledar and Bakhmut,” President Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. “There is very fierce fighting there.”
The city of Bakhmut has been the next target of Russian forces in their slow advance through the Donetsk region since taking the main industrial cities of Lysyhansk and Sievierodonetsk in June and July. Soledar is north of Bakhmut.
A few of the #CatsOfUkraine I met today! ??? This is the Svyatohirsk monastery – and the ruins of the bridge. Access to here and towns like Lyman, Bakhmut & Izium is limited so there are few volunteers like my friends Katya & Sergiy to help the pets. I asked what we can do.? pic.twitter.com/RyxCK7gxxv
