7. History of the dog
The volunteer met Lev on one of the highway in Moscow. On New Year’s holidays, on the coldest and frostiest days, a volunteer went to feed small puppies in the industrial zone, wore hot porridge and meat. Lyova was very distinguished from the general crowd of dogs. He obediently waited for the first to eat the kids, and only then greedily ate hot food. It was immediately clear that this dog was home. He listened to the man, performed the command “Sit” and “Wait.”

So began the acquaintance. Lyova began to feed almost every day, and then he began to dine on an ongoing basis. The appearance of the dog was badly shabby and wounded. There was a wound near the eye, bitten legs said that he often was in fights. The long coat hung on the sides in spring, but overall the dog made a very good impression, so in March the volunteer took Lyova and took her to the shelter. When catching Lev, they did not use any additional means, the volunteer simply asked the dog “You trust me, come with me” and led me around the neck and put me in the car. The dog did not resist. Even then it was clear that the dog was tired and understood everything, he again very much wanted to man.

For several months, Lyova spent at the orphanage, where he restored strength and health. Slowly, all the wounds were overgrown, the dog calmed down, ate, and even began to claim leadership in its aviary. With someone, he got along well, fought with someone, but in general, the staff of the orphanage were satisfied with the guy. When the volunteer came to take Lyova to the zoo, close to her, the woman cried, saying goodbye to the dog.

Lyova is a “kindhearted person”. Gentle, open, sympathetic, very fond of people. All people, through whose hands Lyova passed, unequivocally agree with this statement. And everyone weep at the parting.

In the hotel, the dog spent 3 summer months, feedback about the behavior is most positive. He is friendly with the girls, we can say, cares and cares for her “girlfriend”, treats children well, enjoys communication and any contact. With the males selectively, with some friends, with someone not, but in general, when it was released into the common territory, there was no fighting.

Now Lyova lives in a private area by the garden. He lives in an aviary with a female dog. Stuck with each other for about a week, now they live, soul in the soul. Natural gallantry prevailed and the “Chevalier Leva” gives way to a young lady in many ways. While he still protects his bowl of food, the hungry years are affected, but this is temporary, since he understands that he is being taken care of, he is near people and everything is already well with him.

Lyova loves to walk and play with toys, sticks, balls, ropes – all in joy. Apparently in his childhood he paid much attention, and he did not forget, as it was before. He happily grabs a toy and demands that they play with him.

When the volunteer brought Lyova to the city to wash and comb for a photo shoot, the dog’s joy was not there. He jumped into the elevator at home, it immediately became clear that he lived in the conditions of the city and knows what an elevator is. Well behaved in the bathroom, dutifully washed and dried with a hair dryer. When they came to the park to be photographed – rejoiced like a puppy. He played, ran, barked, loudly told everyone that he was here! Many passers-by could not pass by, stopped and photographed.

Lyova is a very good, loyal, reliable friend. The hard years spent on the street are behind. The dog is opened and trusts the person, happily goes to the contact and wants his house and family. Ahead is only good and he must be lucky.
