People were thrilled to see Masha (= pictured above arriving at a sanctuary)=2E “She brought a smile= to some really, really sad faces,” said her caretaker, Lionel de Lange=2E “I think they understood that she= was going through the same thing as them—she had nowhere to go and = no one to look after her=2E”
