Volunteers save stray Sochi dogs

Volunteers smuggle stray dogs out of Sochi to stop them being killed during the Winter Olympic Games.

Volunteers have been smuggling stray dogs out of Sochi in an attempt to save them from being killed during the Winter Olympic Games.

Animal activists have acted after reports that the city has contracted the killing of stray dogs before and during the Games.

The street dog population in Sochi and the Olympic park has soared since construction began.

Billionaire Oleg Deripaska recently paid for 2,000 animals to be taken to a makeshift shelter.
