  • description: "Some people will ask - you have only a small bag?" "Yes." "And you bring your dog?" "Yes." "Why?" "I love my dog!" Many animal lovers will relate to this. 17-year-old Aslan Al Hakim from Damascus, Syria. And we've seen many like him carrying their animals with them on the long journey from Syria, across the Mediterranean Sea and through Europe. When forced to flee home because of war, many people would never dream of leaving their pets behind.
