When Sochi hosted the Winter Olympics in 2014, the Russian city's stray dogs unexpectedly grabbed the headlines. The city had reportedly hired a pest control company to kill the street dogs but local dentist Vlada Provotorova set out to rescue them and today runs a shelter sending Sochi's stray dogs to new homes around the world.
