俄羅斯舉兵入侵烏克蘭一個半月以來，烏克蘭多座城市淪為廢墟，俄軍慘無人道的暴行頻傳。烏克蘭內政部長顧問格拉什琴科（Anton Gerashchenko）表示，烏克蘭的秋田犬雷尼（Reeny）在主人遇害以後，苦苦於家門前守候，無論民眾如何勸誘她離開都無果。

雷尼是一隻9歲大的母犬，她的主人提蒂亞娜（Tetiana Zadorozhniak）遭性侵後被殺害。鄰居定時餵食這隻狗狗，狗狗目前有痙攣等症狀，卻不願意離開她的「工作崗位」。

This is Reeny, 9 years old. Her human Tetiana we wrote about was brutally murdered. Reeny doesn't know and still waits for her. No one took care of Reeny during the month of occupation. Now looking for kind hands who will help her recover.#GenocideOfUkrainians pic.twitter.com/l3SzIXn6Ff

Tetiana from Makariv (near Kyiv) was raped and murdered by a russian soldier near her home. Video shows local people telling about this tragedy. Tomorrow international journalists will be working at the crime scene.#GenocideOfUkrainians #WarCrimesOfUkraine pic.twitter.com/7BZNopgzk9

《時事通信社》報導，提蒂亞娜居住在烏克蘭基輔州的馬卡里夫，在3月中旬左右被姦殺。悲劇發生後一個月，雷尼還在等著主人歸來的那天。當地媒體將她稱呼為烏克蘭版的「忠犬八公」。

這間屋子的男主人、提蒂亞娜的丈夫則已因新冠肺炎離世，自此雷尼與提蒂亞娜相依為命。隨著俄羅斯揮兵攻打烏克蘭後，決定逃走的提蒂亞娜原本預計與友人會合，卻被俄羅斯軍人擄走，其後遭遇慘事。

Do you remember Reeny? Thank you all for your kind comments! Today my friend Olena visited her. Relatives of the deceased Tetiana were found and are ready to take Reeny in. It’s dangerous for her to stay in her yard - the garage next door is still mined.#StandUpForUkraine pic.twitter.com/JyLzAvpdGc

另外，有一隻隸屬於烏克蘭國家緊急服務中心（SES）的2歲搜救犬派翠恩（Patron）成為掃雷英雄。在烏克蘭戰爭爆發後，發現了超過90顆地雷，並換得起司作為獎勵。
