In Sochi, a 9-year-old boy named Valya was attacked by two starving huskies. They escaped their enclosure, dragged him down, and ripped his face apart — right on a quiet neighborhood street. The dogs hadn’t been fed in over ten days. Their owner had abandoned them after closing his tourist sled business. By the time neighbors heard Valya's screams and rushed to help, the damage was irreversible. In this haunting episode of From Russia with Crime, we explore what led to the attack, how top surgeons in Moscow are trying to rebuild the boy’s face, and why experts warn this tragedy won’t be the last — unless the law changes.
