A Dog Saved Her Puppies From House Fire



A dog in Chile managed to carry each one of her 10 day old puppies out by her mouth to a fire truck after the house in which she was living caught on fire. The reason? Someone set off a car bomb in front of it. People are talking about the dog doing what she did and it's amazing. I'm also wondering why car bombs are going off in a Chilean suburb in front of the dog's house and if there is a possibility this could happen again. All of the dogs she carried out managed to live, with the exception of one which died of severe burns.

  1. Moms seem to be protective of their young no matter the species. Dogs are the best.

  3. Maternal instinct. Still prevalent and responsible for the survival of most species.

  17. Who took those photos instead of helping the dogs out?

  18. This dog is clearly not a good mother. She's living in a dangerous neighborhood and WHERE is the Father?? She shouldn't have so many puppies if she can't safe living conditions. What a bitch.

  21. Incidentally I´ve just read the baby renting by sick celebrity blind and this makes you realize once more how animals can indeed be superior to us in so so many ways. What an amazing mummy:)

  30. From DListed:

    "If you're a cat bitch, I just to ask you this: Would your cat ever do this? ("No, but my cat would stop the fire with its icy cold cunt glare." - you "Good point." - me)"

    It's stories like this that make me sad I'm stuck with an asshole cat who scratched the shit out my arm today for NO reason!

  33. This dog has more maternal instincts than some human mothers I've heard about lately. Humans are able to quash their parental instincts but of course animals can't...what a sweetheart this doggie is.

  34. ::laughs @ the quote Margeaux shared from DListed ::

    This reminds me of the story of Scarlett, the Brooklyn cat who saved her kittens from a fire (she was severely burned in the process, but lived & was adopted)
