A dog named Malysh went missing at Pulkovo Airport after escaping from its carrier during baggage unloading, prompting a frantic search by its owner and volunteers. The 13-year-old dog, resembling a Jack Russell Terrier, escaped after a flight from Novosibirsk to St. Petersburg.
The owner, Natalya, who was relocating to St. Petersburg with Malysh, has been tirelessly searching the area and distributing flyers, but without success. The dog’s escape was captured on video, but there have been no confirmed sightings since.
Natalya is experiencing significant distress, and her relatives report that she is struggling to eat or sleep. Volunteers are seeking more information from the airport and airline to aid in the search.
The airport has confirmed that Malysh has not been found on its premises, and it continues its search efforts. Scammers have attempted to exploit Natalya’s desperation by posing as airport employees and demanding money for the dog’s return.
Natalya urges anyone who may have seen Malysh to come forward and provide assistance. The search is ongoing, with the owner and volunteers determined to locate the missing dog.
