Photographer gave up her career to live with a hundred sick dogs in the woods

A couple with a golden heart πŸ˜‡πŸ₯°

Sometimes in order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself first. Daria Pushkareva had a successful career in Moscow, but her workaholic lifestyle made her feel miserable. But all that changed when the girl dedicated her time and money to animals in need.

Β«I was one of the five most popular Moscow wedding photographers,Β» Daria said. β€” Among my clients were mostly businessmen and politicians. Before photography I had been shooting cinema and TV series for six years, which I was also proud of. But that work of 15 hours a shift with no days off for two weeks straight was draining me. To lighten the load, I took up photography. I spent all my money on a camera and workshops. But it ended the same way. days off, no holidays.Β»

Β«Then I remembered that in high school, when we were discussing what we wanted to be, I said I wanted to run a dog shelter. I grew up without a father, my mother worked a lot, so I didn’t have a dog β€” it would have been an extra burden for my mother in the first place.Β»

Β«It was a long time before I got my first dog. When I was doing film, I helped animals a lot, donated money, volunteered.Β»

Β«One day I saw a post about a puppy in a shelter who was missing one eye. I met a volunteer to give her the money, and she told me: Β«Thank you, but we can’t take her to the clinic. There’s no one to do it right now.Β» And I was there with my husband. We exchanged glances, and I said: Β«We can do it ourselves.Β» Then it was plain and simple. The shelter owner handed me a fluffy flea-bitten lump, and I asked: Β«Is it a puppy?Β»

Soon the couple began rescuing one dog after another. Β«My husband and I wanted a seventh dog. One that was in such terrible condition that no one would take it. There were none in Moscow, but we found one in Krasnodar. When I saw her in the online catalog, I immediately felt her eyes looking right at me. We took the 7 month old puppy home, who immediately started biting our 6 dogs. The midnight fight wouldn’t end, so we took him to the trainer. But that didn’t help. The puppy howled, messed up the apartment and was even aggressive to us. It turned out he had a head injury that gave him migraines.Β»
