There is a sad truth that is often ignored: not everyone who has pets treats them as family members.

For some, these incredible beings are considered mere objects, disposable when they are no longer convenient.

However, for dogs, loyalty and love are unwavering, even in the face of the cruelest betrayals.

In the city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a heartwarming story of loyalty and courage gained attention.

Maru, an adorable dog, was sold to a couple six months ago.

At just one year old, she was taken away, only to be returned shortly after, under the excuse that the woman was allergic.

However, Maru had other plans.

While being transported back to Novosibirsk, the determined dog found an opportunity to escape from the Trans-Siberian railway.

Using her skills and strength, she managed to open a compartment door when the train stopped at a small station, beginning an epic journey.

With tears in her eyes and a heavy heart, Maru embarked on a 200-kilometer journey back to the place she once called home.

Along the way, she faced challenges and dangers, but her determination was unwavering.

Fortunately, she found refuge and care from an attendant during her journey, ensuring that she survived the long trip.

Meanwhile, her owners were contacted and informed about Maru’s disappearance.

However, their response was disheartening. They refused to help in the search and showed little interest in the well-being of the dog they once called their own.

After two and a half days of pilgrimage, Maru was finally found in Krasnoyarsk, the city where her former owners lived.

Her feet were sore, her pads damaged, and her snout injured, but her determination did not falter.

Thanks to the care of volunteers, she is now back at the shelters in Novosibirsk, where she is receiving the necessary care to recover from her heroic journey.

The story of Maru is a poignant reminder of the unbreakable bond between dogs and their owners, even when the latter fail to reciprocate that love.

Her loyalty and courage inspire us, showing us that, despite adversity, true love always finds its way back home.
