School Children Hide in Tree to Escape Pack of Wild Dogs
On 4/30/21 at 7:33 AM EDT
Video footage taken in Russia shows the dramatic moments when three schoolchildren were left cowering in a tree they had to climb in order to escape from a pack of stray dogs.
In the clip shared on Telegram and shown on Russian media outlets on Thursday, the trio is sitting on the tree s branches while one climbs even higher to get even farther away from the animals below.
The incident took place near a school in the city of Birsk, located around 800 miles east of Moscow in the republic of Bashkortostan, also known as Bashkiria.

This basic conundrum of our age has reared its ugly head most recently during the Covid-19 crisis. In October last year, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab accused Vladimir Putin’s Russia of mounting a worldwide disinformation campaign aimed at eroding the credibility (and hence the efficacy) of the West’s Covid-19 vaccines.
