When rescuers find sick or abused stray animals, they’ve often lost their will to survive and have completely given up hope that they’ll recover.
However, when a veterinarian from Spain and her friend discovered a starving dog with a broken leg scavenging for food, they were stunned to see how determined she was to survive since many dogs in her condition would have already given up.
Yet once veterinarian Ellen Sobry and her friend Lianne got a closer look at the dog, they immediately realized why she was fighting so hard to survive. The skinny Greyhound was lactating, which meant she had recently had puppies.
“After giving her first treatments and stabilizing her broken leg we took her back to where she was found because we saw she was producing milk so somewhere she had puppies,” Sobry wrote in a post on Facebook.
Once back at the spot where they found the dog, which they named Vera, Sobry released her and just watched what she would do. Vera immediately started walking and her rescuers followed her for a little over two miles until they reached an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere.
Vera finally stopped walking when she reached an old broken down car, and when Sobry looked inside, she discovered the babies waiting inside. “10 little lives waiting for their mum,” Sobry wrote. Vera and her tiny puppies are now recovering in Sobry’s clinic and she hopes to eventually find them a forever home. “They are safe now.”
Watch the incredible moment rescuers finally discover the newborn litter after walking for two miles.
