From the UNHCR Facebook page:
“Many animal lovers will relate to this 17-year-old boy from Damascus, Syria. And we’ve seen many like him carrying their animals with them on the long journey from Syria, across the Mediterranean Sea and through Europe. When forced to flee home because of war, many people would never dream of leaving their pets behind.”
"Some people will ask – you have only a small bag?"
"Yes."
"And you bring your dog?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I love my dog!"Many animal lovers will relate to this 17-year-old boy from Damascus, Syria.

This is just amazing. If only everyone cared this much for animals. 🙂
