After 3 years, a Ukrainian immigrant in Alaska rescues her beloved rottweiler from her home countryAnastatiia Heath didn’t plan on moving to Wasilla, but like a lot of things in life, change can happen in an instant, or in this case, love and war. Anastatiia came here along with her daughter as an immigrant almost three years ago from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. She married Jesse Heath and was settling in nicely, except for one thing — Anastatiia had to leave her best friend behind, in a country and a city currently under siege from the Russians. That friend was her rottweiler, Roxy. Her mother was feeding and watering the dog along with help from the neighbor. After several failed attempts to get Roxy to America, COVID-19 hit and all the travel restrictions that came with it.
