We all know just how much mama dogs are ready to sacrifice to help their babies. Their resolve to help their children is something truly amazing.
It’s for this reason that it is pretty sad to see just how many of them suffer in poor conditions and struggle to find simple things like food and water to feed their babies.
In this story, we will talk about a mama dog who was on the verge of desperation and begging strangers to help her puppies.
A Desperate Call For Help

When rescuers were informed about a stray dog living on the streets after giving birth, they had no time to waste.
They went to the area and tried to find the scared animal, only to be surprised by what happened next.
She gave birth to her puppies and was trying to protect them. When her rescuers tried to approach her, she became very agitated and wasn’t sure if they meant harm.
So, they went back to their car for some treats and then circled back to feed the dog. She was really reluctant, but ultimately accepted the food because she was starving.

Finally, they were able to catch a glimpse of the puppies. They didn’t seem to be doing well and needed help immediately.
The rescuers tried to pet the mama dog to help her realize that they were only there to help her and the babies.
Upon doing so, they noticed a small leash around her neck, which meant that she likely had an owner before, but was abandoned.
A Tragedy And A New Hope

After finally getting her to relax, they took her away from the puppies so they could try to help them.
After seeing her babies in horrible condition, she started licking them and looking at the humans as if she was begging them to do something.
However, things took a dark turn after the rescuers realized that four of the five puppies had passed away and only one had managed to barely survive.
Their mom was visibly distressed and was desperately trying to awaken them, but to no avail.
The rescuers were incredibly sad that they couldn’t do anything to help. They brought the mama dog and the puppies along, even though they knew it was over.

After taking them to a shelter, they buried the four babies and did everything they could to help the mom and her last surviving child.
They were not in great health, but slowly making a recovery, and it seemed like things were getting a bit better for a change.
The next day, the rescuers took in two new puppies who were orphaned and now needed someone to care for them. They were brought to the mama dog to see if she would help.
She was a bit confused at first, but gladly accepted them and nursed them back to health like the heroic dog she is.
While we have no information on what happened to the puppies, it will still take a while before they are old enough for adoption, and there is no doubt that they will find a home.
