A Brother’s Loyalty: Romaka Refuses To Leave Injured Sister’s Side
When kindhearted strangers saw two dogs lying helplessly on a roadside, they knew something was terribly wrong. As they got closer, they realized that one of them—a small female later named Nezhka—was severely injured and unable to move.
Lying beside her was her brother, Romaka, who refused to leave her side. His loyalty was heartbreaking. He stayed close to Nezhka, gently nuzzling her and keeping her warm as she whimpered in pain. It was clear he wouldn’t abandon her, no matter what.
The witnesses immediately called a rescue organization, and within minutes, help arrived. The rescuers were deeply moved by what they found: Romaka, guarding his injured sister, refusing to eat or move until she was safe.
The team carefully lifted the bonded siblings into their vehicle and rushed them to a nearby veterinary hospital for treatment.
Once at the clinic, both dogs were examined thoroughly. X-rays revealed that Nezhka had multiple fractures in her back legs, along with a severe cough and a cold. Her appetite was poor, and her energy was fading fast. The veterinarians knew she would need surgery—but only after regaining enough strength to endure it.
The rescuers placed both siblings in a loving foster home to recover together. Their foster parents kept them side by side in the same crate so that they could comfort one another. Romaka stayed close, offering his sister reassurance through gentle barks and nuzzles.
After several days of care, Nezhka finally grew strong enough for her operation. As the foster family took her to the hospital, Romaka barked and paced nervously, worried for his sister. The surgery went perfectly, and the vets were optimistic that she would make a full recovery.
Nezhka quickly became a favorite among the hospital staff with her sweet, resilient nature. Once she was ready to go home, her foster family brought her back—and the reunion with Romaka was pure joy. Both dogs wagged their tails furiously, their faces glowing with happiness.
The siblings had been through the worst together, but their story was far from over. Once fully recovered, both Nezhka and Romaka found loving forever homes. Though they went to separate families, each finally had the love, safety, and comfort they had always deserved.
From two heartbroken strays lying in pain on the street to two joyful, healthy dogs with bright futures, their transformation was nothing short of miraculous. Their bond—and the compassion of those who stepped in—made all the difference.
