Today in many countries around the world celebrates a holiday dedicated to pets. While zoosecurity and activists advocate the protection of pets living with the host, JustMedia correspondent. ru together with the staff of the "Spetsavtobazy" caught stray dogs. Details - in our reportage.

To catch neglected animals begin in the early morning - UAZ with four employees of "Spetsavtobaza" leaves the parking lot at 08:00. Employees are warned in advance and asked not to shoot them close-up while catching stray animals. The first address to which the residents called "hunters for dogs", very close to the enterprise - Posadskaya 44 \ 4. To notice the dogs in the yard of the house, when it's still dark outside, sitting in the "loaf" has to lean out of the car windows and illuminate the neighborhood with flashlights.

Men in jackets with the organization's logo and wind tubes to immobilize the dogs quickly leave the UAZ, and, having fled in different directions, begin to look for tramps around the house. Barking of dogs is heard, but men return without them. "We go further, nobody was caught here", sums up the first trip of the Spetsavtobazy employee, smoking a cigarette near the car.

Departure to the second address - Yasnaya, 6 - also was unsuccessful.

- And do you often work without "catch"? It happens that for a shift you can not catch a single dog? - I'm interested in.

- No, this does not happen, - answers the specialist on catching stray animals.

And these words are confirmed. Even at the entrance of the car to the MBU "Verkh-Isetskoe DEU", meet with shouts:.

- Guys, do not, do not take them! They just eat and all, no one bites, - runs out the saleswoman of the ritual store near the Shirokorechensky cemetery Elena Filimonova.

"There, their whole flock!" - a quick step goes to the dogs running out of the gate of the Daewoo, one of the brigade "Spetsavtobazy". In the pursuit of "shoot" in one, but the medicine, apparently, does not work - the animal runs away to the cemetery. In search of the dog from the monument to the monument run three employees of the enterprise. Communicate with the protector of animals remains only one member of the visiting brigade.

"She ran away, why are you chasing her?" Is there no heart at all? Nonhumans! These are guard dogs, they belong to the DEU. I'll call the wife of the director of the enterprise - she's a determined woman, this will suit you! - threatens the man Filimonov.

- We have received applications throughout the Zoological from Seraphim Deryabin to Repin. We do not just come, it's all done through the administration of the city, - responds to the threats specialist "Spetsavtobazy".

- Show paper on your trips. I know, the plan for the New Year simply needs to be met!.

A man comes to a nearby standing UAZ and brings a defender of dogs a document with addresses to which people have complained.

- If they rushed and bitten people, yes I would call you first. At us all are inoculated, knots are sterilized. And in general, you went to someone else's territory, - continues the dialogue seller of cemetery wreaths.

- We did not go to any other territory, they ran out of you all. We are not the first time we come, we say to you, make a fence or tie them, so as not to run down the street.

"They're not running away!" - insists Filimonov - Yes? They have you here on the street all the time lie in the summer.

- It's okay, well, they lay on the grass, nothing wrong with people did not.

The Spetsavtobazy employee tries to explain to the woman that, after running out of the territory of the DEU, dogs can bite children or pensioners. "Nobody walks here, it's a dead end! ", She resents in response.

"If I have a heart attack now, I'll blame them," Filimonov says to me, trembling with emotion, his voice.

She continues to prove that to catch these dogs (on the territory of the DEU there are seven of them) have no right, because they are not dangerous and live in booths (there are five of them at the enterprise). Last time, when the store was not her shift, the "Special Motor Vehicle" took five animals.

- I can not, I'm shaking. These are kind and intelligent dogs, they need to write books. God, they would rather leave. Guys, leave! - standing at the entrance to the cemetery, says Filimonova.

After 30 minutes, the "dog hunter" calls his colleagues to find out when the chase ends.

- Without a dog, they come back without a dog? - Through tears, his saleswoman quietly asks.

"Without a dog, without a dog," the employee of the enterprise answers almost in a whisper..

- Thank you, thank you! - Shouts after the already leaving car "Spetsavtobazy" Filimonov.

The first dog, walking without supervision, was caught two hours after starting work at the house along Ogareva Street. I had to catch up with her by car. The immobilized dog in the cage is pulled by two men: one holds by the paws, the second - by the scruff. At the crossroads of Ukhtomskaya and Leningradskaya streets near the old house another animal is "being shot". True, this dog is hardly dangerous for passers-by - a well-groomed dog sitting at the door, a black collar around his neck.

The regulations allow the Special Motor Vehicle to catch such animals on the street without a master. Most likely, she will be returned home: at the point of short-term detention, legitimate owners are searched for the registration number, if not, the photo is posted on the site of the enterprise to search for the owners. The decision on the fate of sick or aggressive dogs, including euthanasia, is taken by a veterinarian.
