Emma was at the end of the line. On deck for euthanization at the Charlotte Animal Shelter in North Carolina, it seemed her fate had been sealed.
And then a rescuing angel named Nicholas stepped in to save her … but Nicholas’ big-hearted act of kindness was even bigger than he thought! He had no idea that Emma was pregnant at the time of her rescue.
Nicholas got a lot more than he bargained for when he decided to step in and help get Emma off d.e.a.t.h row!
The rescue was able to pull Emma from d.e.a.t.h row and she went home with Nicholas — except no one at the shelter had mentioned that Emma was very, very pregnant!
Luckily, Nicholas had some experience with birthing farm animals and opted to deliver Emma’s pups at home. When the time came, Emma gave birth to six puppies — two females and four males — without any difficulty.
All the babies, and momma, are doing well and Nicholas has their care all under control!
If you’ve ever heard the term ‘animal instincts,’ it perfectly describes one mama dog and her puppies.
The poor puppies were stuck in flooding waters, but the frantic dog mom knew what she had to do.
The puppies were lodged in a hole that rapidly filled with water. As the dog dug and dug at the hole, the water kept filling up. The dog’s owner stood by the side and kept emptying the water as fast as he could.
We cannot imagine the level of focus this dog had in order to get her pups out of danger. Once the hole was big enough, she jumped forward and right down into it. You can barely see her tail sticking out when suddenly, she makes contact.
