In Bashkortostan, a dog saved a group of hikers from a bear but was left seriously injured. According to one of the witnesses, who shared the story on social media, it happened yesterday around 10:00 near Igir. A dog named Snowjock (snowball) accompanied the group on their trip. At one point the dog heard a bear and ran towards it. His barking scared the predator. Before escaping, however, the bear severely injured Snizhuk, tearing off a large section of skin from his leg. The brave dog had to be carried down the mountain on a stretcher, as he could no longer walk on his own. The group managed to get him off safely and take him to Opa on a passenger train. The dog was examined there and his wound was treated. He now faces a long recovery.
