Karina Chikitova lives with her family and her dog, Naida, in the remote Sakha Republic in Siberia, writes ilovemydogsomuch
One day, the 3-year-old wandered off into the nearby forests with Naida, and ended up getting lost in the dense wilderness.
Karina was bony and completely dehydrated after surviving 12 nights in the savage wilderness. She was in hospital for days. When she recovered, she explained how Naida had been the sole reason why she is still alive!
Karina had suffered many infectious bug bites and she was extremely malnourished. But the resilient girl gradually recovered. These days, she is an aspiring ballerina with many starry dreams in her eyes!
As for Naida, she’s the public’s favorite hero! The local authorities have even installed a gleaming statue of Karina and Naida to honor the dog’s bravery!
What a story of loyalty, resilience and bravery!
