A Syrian refugee who refused to leave his pet puppy behind in the war-torn country has carried the dog more than 300 miles (500 kms) to safety in Greece.
17-year-old Aslan, told the UNHCR he left Damascus with his small Husky, Rose, virtually his only possession.
The teenager made his way to the Greek island of Lesbos, after first reaching Turkey.

He was told to leave the dog behind, but rather than abandon him, Aslan made him a passport and put him in a carry case.
"I love this dog, I need him," he said.

It's nice that he cares for animals, but I do hope if he makes it somewhere where there isn't rabies, he has his pal quarantined.
