“In this video, I want to share a touching story that took place in Almaty. In 2016, a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir and couldn’t get out because of the smooth banks. A young man tried to rescue it but couldn’t do it alone. That’s when a group of people formed a human chain, holding hands, and together they rescued both the dog and the young man. Now, 10 years later, that act of solidarity has been turned into a sculpture inaugurated in March 2026. This monument not only immortalizes the rescue of a little dog, but also shows how art can serve as a bridge between emotion and action. Through a small being, this human chain reminded us that when we come together, we can overcome barriers, save lives, and, as a society, build a more compassionate and united future.” Via instagram.com/reel/DWM0YsMka… #almaty #RescueStory #Solidarity #HumanChain
