These pictures and feelings are able to help people,” The Day’s editor-in-chief Larysa Ivshyna wrote in her traditional column.
By the way, did you know that pet owners live on average 4.5 years longer than those who do not have pets? In Ukraine, 41 percent of pet owners keep dogs, while 54 percent keep cats.
