"We collected almost all the documents, ordered a restaurant for a commemoration, but since the registry office was evacuated, and didn¡¯t give us one final document, the crematorium refused to accept anyone", she told Guardian.
Alisa is a Python programmer who works with a German company, which helped her flee the country along with her two dogs, one of them being a twelve-and-a-half-year-old German shepherd.
It is said that she fell every kilometer and couldn¡¯t stand up again. She asked people for help, but they kept declining, suggesting she should leave the dog behind.

I'm sobbing. Even more amazing to me, is that in all the photos and videos I've seen, the dogs seem to understand and will let themselves be carried. I don't think I could lift my 85 lb girl, but I couldn't leave her behind.
