shares his experience working with the Clean Futures Fund Dogs Of Chernobyl Project.

According to Mr Quandt, in 2019,

I went to Chernobyl to participate in a spay/neuter campaign for the dogs that
were descended from the pets left behind after the nuclear plant disaster of
1986. With many personally shot photos I tell my story of meeting the
inhabitants of the mostly abandoned town of Chernobyl City, the totally
abandoned city of Pripyat and the dogs (and some cats!) that we encountered.
It is a story of resilience, hope, life and even heroism….

It’s quite a story – read it below.
