Parents are supposed to do everything in their power to keep their babies safe, but when one awful mom left her 2-year-old baby to starve, thankfully another mom stepped up to keep him alive.
When a two-year-old little boy, who has not been identified, was abandoned by his parents and left to starve without any food or water in the desert port of Arica in Chile, he had little chance of survival as he quickly became malnourished, was covered in skin infections, and was infested with lice.
Luckily, a caring dog named Reina, who was pregnant with her own puppies, saw the sickly child and tried to literally nurse him back to health. After a while, owner Lory Escudero got concerned when Reina never returned home, but she’ll never forget what she saw when she finally did find her.
The caring mom-to-be was breastfeeding the emaciated toddler as if he were her own. “Everyone that is here, we’re all parents and if you saw what we saw from my position as a woman, as a mother, it was terrible,” said Escudero, who immediately called the police.
The child was rushed to the hospital to get treatment, but Capt. Diego Gajardo, one of the first officers at the scene, explained that the child was so malnourished that Reina’s breast milk may have been the only thing that kept him alive.
