Stories like this make me wonder whether we are the higher form of life in some cases:mad:

Granted that I am in general biased towards dogs, so I love stories like these.

But, in general, it seems like this shows what a HIGH calling motherhood is. Good post-Mother’s Day story! 👍

First of all I must say that I am glad that the baby girl survived and pray that God blesses her the rest of her life.

abcdefg, I hate to break the grim news to you but the dog was foraging for food. I imagine the dog brought the baby back to her puppies to eat.

Thankfully someone discovered the baby.
 
Dogs/Cats will kill the prey on the spot and carry it home so this dog must have no intention to kill the baby.

have you heard of babies raised up by wolves?
 
I wonder what happened to the dog and her puppies?

Heartwarming story… I am so glad that the baby was found and is being well cared for.

If the dog brought the baby home as food, it would not have been found in good condition… but nice twist on this beautiful story:hmmm: .

I disagree completely,dogs and wolves have done this before.If the dog was looking to kill the baby she would have done so,God let the dog know the baby was just that a baby and her motherly instinct kicked in.🙂
 
Funny how even a DOG knows what a baby is, while so many of their mothers don’t. 😦
 
I think maybe God sent this dog…I have heard of this type of thing before, too.
Animals that are nursing have a very, very strong maternal instinct. They will mother any needy baby. There is something built-in that leads them to do this.
Unfortunately, this “something” seems to be missing from many human parents. (IMHO:Yet another tragic fall out from original sin…)

Why would the puppies eat a baby when the mother already provides them with food?

This is a very ugly thought, and could only come from someone who knows nothing at all about animals. There are innumerable well-attested stories of animal kindness to human beings. Animals are not as dumb as you seem to think.
 
I disagree with the person who said the dog was taking the baby as food. When I first read the story I wondered that as well, however why would the Dog take a baby (which was alive) home to her newborn pups? Most likely they were drinking her milk.

Gee, I hope someone adopts the dog and her puppies as well 🙂

Me, too, although the dog and her pups may have a home with the man quoted in the article. Hopefully he is good to his animals and will now get his female dogs spayed!

How lucky this little girl was, and what a miracle. I think God was speaking to us in this act.

Dogs rule!!
