Ukraine: Dogs survive hair-raising near death experience

In an act of loyalty, two very lucky dogs survived being run over by a train near Uzhgorod on Sunday.

One faithful dog ran to the rescue of his injured friend, who lay traumatised between the tracks. On hearing the sound of an oncoming train, the first dog came to her aid and nuzzled down as they both ducked their heads and narrowly escaped a train as it bulldozed over them.

After staring death in the face, the two dogs popped up their heads without so much as a bark. Both dogs were removed from the tracks and taken to safety.
