Tashmatov notes that when he went outside to throw away the trash, he heard a strange whimpering near the trash bins. It turned out that someone had abandoned seven newborn puppies to fend for themselves despite the cold.
– The little puppies were whimpering from cold and hunger. I couldn't just walk past them, - Alisher Tashmatov recounts. – In a hurry, I called friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, as well as all the shelters and veterinary clinics in the city. I was advised to just leave them to die in the cold or hope that someone would pick them up. Others suggested euthanizing them to spare them from suffering. In short, it was chaos!
Then Alisher called his former colleagues at the Bishkek "Rescue Service 161".
– Their response was brief: "Bring them," – notes the concerned resident. – I brought them. The rescuers gladly accepted all seven puppies. They promised to raise the little ones at work if no one adopts them. I am sincerely grateful to them, if only for not allowing the puppies to die from hunger and cold. It’s great that there are still people to be proud of! I don’t understand those who abandoned the puppies on the street.
According to Alisher Tashmatov, the next day, all the puppies were taken by Larisa Slobodskaya, the director of the charitable foundation "Kind Hands" for animal assistance, from the emergency service employees.
