The superpowers of a mama dog

Happy Monday, and thanks for popping by.
So, the latest buzz in the online news world has everyone looking at just how much a mother dog will do for her pups. You may be wondering what i'm talking about. Let me explain . . .
On Friday, March 20'th, a forest fire broke out in Valparaiso, Chile. Once the fire cleared, rescue workers were shocked to find 9 new born puppies - alive! How did they survive?
You have heard stories of mothers somehow gaining super powers when their children are in danger, and this is no different. A mother dog named Negrita had one option to save her pups from the fire. Bury them! And bury them she did. The pups not only survived, but they survived without a scratch or injury to any of them.


Rescue workers got all 9 pups to safety and reunited with their beautiful mama.


If you really want your Monday smile, take a look at the footage from the rescue. It's just 35 seconds of time definitely not wasted!



It just goes to show, even animal mama's know what to do in the face of real danger. I hope this story warmed your hearts as much as it did mine. I hope to see you back tomorrow :)

  14. That is one smart momma! It is amazing how animals' instincts give them the answers they need in difficult situations. A human would have never thought of burying something to save it from a fire. Thank you for sharing! This really made me smile :)
