Death could not touch you if it is not yet your time, and the best proof for that is the story that we are about to present below.

A pooch that was given a lethal injection before being buried alive by his owners reportedly managed to dig himself out of the grave.

Not only walk, but he went to a road and got help from locals.

Kiryusha, the 7-year-old German Shepherd, was seen by 39-year-old Olga Lystseva when she was driving in the southern part of Russia.

She passed the pooch that was slowly walking in the rain.

Olga said that she noticed that the dog was walking extremely slow, which suggested that it was exhausted.

Olga turned around her car and drove back around 9 miles to stop and pick up poor Kiryusha from the roadside.

She settled the dog on the back seat of her vehicle and got some food for him before driving almost 100 miles to the city of Ukhta to hand him over to Kind City, a dog rescue center.

On the internet and social media, the shelter shared images of the dog to get information about the dog.

Responses on social media suggested that the dog had come from Yemva.

The owners were tracked down by the rescue group, who said that they put down the dog because he was unhealthy.

The owners had reportedly injected a drug that was supposed to kill the dog.

The couple said that they buried the dog in a remote spot in a forest near the Ukhta-Syktyvkar highway.

The owners apologized for their mistake.

Vets checked out the dog and found out that he was just tired, hungry, and cold.

It was determined that the dog had no ongoing health problems and was in good overall health.

Ekaterina Nimak, who is from the rescue service, said:

Thanks to Olga, Kiryusha has begun a new life. In the shelter, he is very calm. He walks on a leash, does not rush anywhere, rarely conflicts with other dogs and does not bark. He is good-natured with people.

The dog was not handed back to the owners that intended to kill him.

The dog, who was not named, is currently being fostered by a local family, who are loving and caring, said the rescue group.
