Abandoned dog called Hero saves lives of 10 newborn puppies
An
abandoned dog has saved the lives of ten sick, newborn puppies and
their weak mother after incessantly barking to alert passersby and then
leading them to the dogs' location in dense woods.
The
Labrador mix, who has since been named Hero, had spent weeks eluding
members of Dallas Dogrrr-Rescue, Rehab, Reform in Texas, who were trying
to rescue him from a south Dallas park.
But
on Tuesday night, he greeted rescuer Marina Tarashevsce and dog
behaviorist John Miller with persistent barking. Every time the pair
moved closer to him, Hero inched backward and barked.
Deciding
that the dog was trying to alert them to something, Ms Tarahevsce and
Mr Miller followed him into nearby woodland. A short while later, they
came across a burnt-out tree, situated by a creek.

Incredibly,
under the tree, the rescuers discovered a litter of ten, shivering
puppies - one of which had nearly frozen to death in the cold - and
their exhausted mother, who has since been named Mona.
Five days on, the 11 rescued animals have been transferred to a warm and caring foster home, Fox News reported. They have been joined by Hero himself, who remains constantly by their side.
According
to Dogrrr-Rescue, Hero may be the puppies'' father, although this is
not confirmed. But regardless, he will undoubtedly be 'the most loving
and nurturing dog dad', the group remarked.
