Her gut swelled with life as the dog wandered aimlessly through the desolate streets. She was left to fend for herself when her previous owners abandoned her.
Nevertheless, when her due date drew near, she recognized she needed assistance. Her contractions grew stronger and more frequent as she moved. She was aware of how her body was getting ready for the arrival of her puppies.
She desperately looked about for someone to help her. Eventually, she came to a local's home. She ran over to the door and started pawing at it.
In frustration, she screamed in the hopes that someone would hear her and help her. No one could open the door, despite her attempts.
She waited for hours, hoping someone would arrive. She used every ounce of her strength to get to the neighborhood veterinarian clinic. The dog was taken into a room and prepared for delivery as soon as the veterinarian and his colleagues realized she was in labor.
The sonographer gasped with disbelief as she examined the dog. There were actually 12 puppies developing within the dog, not just one or two.
Soon after, the veterinarian and his colleagues began making preparations for the birth. It took hours of fighting, but eventually the puppies emerged one by one. The exhausted mother watched, tail bouncing in relief, as her children were bathed and weighed.
Mama and her babies grew up strong and healthy together because they received the love and care they required.
