A kind man was driving down the road when he saw a dog wandering around in obvious distress. He pulled his car over to see if he could help her. The dog was devastated. She had just lost her baby after the little one was struck by a car. The puppy was too far gone for the man to help him, but he could help his mama. He suspected she may have other puppies nearby. He had to do something quickly before other lives were lost.

The problem was, the mama dog would not leave her baby. The man kept whistling to see if another baby would come out but nothing happened. He then fed Mom and tried to get her to relax. She had been through so much: homelessness, starvation, and losing her baby. The sympathetic man couldn’t even imagine the extent of her pain.

The man continued to call out for other puppies. Once he realized he had to go look himself, he left Mom as she continued to gobble up her food. Thankfully, he quickly found another puppy. He then searched everywhere to make sure no other baby was left behind.

After prayers were said for the baby who passed, the man loaded Mom and baby into his car. He drove them to a local shelter where they welcomed them with open arms. They promised that mom and pup would be well-cared for and any medical needs they had would be swiftly addressed.

Because the mama dog is so friendly, they believe she’ll find a home in no time. Her remaining puppy will also be available for adoption once he’s old enough. Even though this story began tragically, we are so grateful that the surviving dogs are now safe. You can see the moving rescue video by scrolling down.
