Irrevocable loss of a loved one on New Year's Eve - what could be worse? And when a pet also disappears, in which you saw a connection with the deceased, life generally loses its meaning... But that’s why it’s a magical holiday - Christmas, so that everything changes for the better!

The story “Ryzhik the Second” is charged with Christmas magic - tested by readers: “So magical and fabulous, and at the same time sincerely calm. It seems to me that I can even hear the snow falling outside the window. Huge snowflakes are spinning and silently falling to the ground. And I’m already in love with Ryzhik...” (Natasha Simpson, USA).
