Traumatised Ukrainian dog who survived bombing left terrified by cars ‘racing’ in Suffolk

A dog which has found a new home in the UK from Ukraine has been left so traumatised by the war that it is terrified of loud cars outside.

18-month-old dog Ressi and her owner, Lana Sushko, are now appealing to the residents of Haverhill, Suffolk, to stop it.

“Every night between the hours of 8 and 11pm there are quite a few cars racing along the street and backfiring which sounds like shooting”, she pleaded on Facebook.

“We can’t move again and we can’t go back to my country.”
