In the snow, a stray dog begs for her puppies
It was the middle of winter in Serbia, the snow was deep, and a stray dog kept walking up to every person who went by. more
Someone called the Dog Rescue Shelter in Mladenovac about a stray dog in a drainpipe, and the team went out to find her. She was shivering, but she would not stop going back into the pipe.
So the rescuers looked inside. In there, out of the snow, were three tiny puppies. That was why she kept asking strangers for help.
SaveThe team named the mother Hera. She was used to people and let the rescuers come close. The puppies were another story. They were scared and wouldn't come out, so the team had to find a clever way to get them free without hurting them.
It was nearly dark by the time all three puppies were out of the pipe, unharmed, and back with their mom. Hera has huge eyes, and the look she gives her rescuers then is easy to read.
The shelter took the whole family in, gave them the vet care they needed and kept them warm. Later, a man pets a black-and-white dog lying belly up in a plastic tub full of straw.
SaveThe dog who walked up to every stranger in the snow can finally stop asking.
