There is no force more powerful in the universe than the love of a mother for her child. A mother sets the very foundation of unconditional love and support in a child’s life for years to come. Earlier in our lives, we were all dependent on our mommies, not only for nourishment and love, but also to acquire an understanding on how the world works. The same heavenly love can be witnessed in the animal kingdom as well. Animal mommies care for their young ones, provide them nutrition, teach them survival tactics, etc. But when this unsuspecting couple decided to take in a shelter dog, little did they know that the dog was holding out for a major surprise.Chris and Mariesa took care of many rescued canines at home. But while the couple was visiting the county kennel, they came across a dog named Storie. They couldn’t help but fall in love with her and eventually decided to take the pooch in.

The good Samaritans later learned that the dog was pregnant with a dozen puppies inside her. After getting an ultrasound of the dog’s belly, it was revealed that she was about to go into labor. Storie was rather reluctant to give birth, probably due to the conditions at the county kennel. “Dogs having puppies at shelters, and it’s not the best thing for them. It’s stressful for her, stressful for the puppies,” Chris said.

The thoughtful duo accept the help of Pibbles and More Animal Rescue in finding a relatively safer place for the canine so she could give birth to her pups. The couple knew that it was extremely essential for Storie to feel protected and relaxed in order to safely give birth to her babies. Storie was given a comfortable bed and was prepared for the inevitable moment of labor.

Just a few hours after moving Storie to her foster home, she gave birth to all of her babies. To be precise, within 18 hours of her rescue the canine gave birth to all the 12 pups she was carrying around for so long.

Soon the pups started opening their eyes and astonishing the world with their unique personalities and incredible cuteness. So kudos to the two humans who were nothing less than guardian angels for Storie and her 12 puppies.
