She didn’t choose to live on the streets. Someone has already left her. But when she realized that childbirth was coming, it was too late to hide from the city. There was no time to look for shelter. Her children were born, and it took all of her strength to bring them into the world.
Heartbroken, exhausted, and on the verge of collapse…
This abandoned mother dog showed all the fragility and strength her mother possessed. Will her story have a happy ending? Will all this suffering bring about any positive change?
Good job mom, the puppies are already here.

I was shocked to see a newborn mother dog lying helplessly next to her newborn baby just hours before.
The image screamed for help!
This poor mother dog has no strength left. How can she be strong when she’s broken in so many ways?
Judging by her collar, her previous owners abandoned her early. It must be because she was carrying a child. Without enough food, water, or shelter, this adorable little girl wandered the city looking for a safe place to give birth. But sometimes a project remains just a project. Her birth took her by surprise and she had to give birth where she was, on the street and on a piece of cardboard.
Six puppies came into this world. Sadly, two of them were already angels when their mommy pushed them out.
Although she was exhausted beyond every borderline, as soon as she saw people approaching her, the mommy took the last atom of her strength and got up. She had to defend her little ones.
She didn’t realize those people were trying to help her. She was in full defensive mode, acting aggressively and doing her best to protect her babies. It appeared as if she didn’t know that sometimes, people can be good, and that not everyone’s there to hurt her.
The rescue team was attacked three times by the mommy before they managed to capture her and take her, along with her little ones, somewhere safe.
Back at the shelter, the rescuers were relieved that mommy had enough milk to feed her pups. Now, it was time to feed mommy, too.
She was starving, beyond exhausted, and desperate to taste a nice meal.
That day, the mommy ate three times, and we all know that dogs normally have one to two meals a day. She devoured about 5 pounds of liver for the first two meals! That’s how hungry she was.
After the first 48 hours, which were critical, the puppies turned out to be just fine. They started growing, opening their eyes, and enjoying the beauty of puppyhood.
The mommy was doing fine, too, although she was still a bit traumatized and nervous around people. But, that’s okay. Sooner or later, the dog mommy will find it in her heart to trust humans again.
If it wasn’t for these good people, dog lovers, and rescuers, the poor mommy would have starved to death and so would her puppies.
After all that trouble in her young life, the mommy was finally blessed with the life she always deserved.
I know we can’t save all stray dogs. We can’t adopt them all or cure world hunger. But, at least we can spare a couple of bucks and feed dogs on our streets. If everyone wanted to chip in, the number of stray dogs in need would be drastically minimized.
