CNN reported that a dog who was nursing her puppies also sheltered and protected a newborn baby boy that had been abandoned. The infant was reported to be only a few hours old and abandoned by a fourteen year old mother.
That is the kind of dog that everyone could use. This amazing dog saved the infants life. The dog carried the baby from where he was abandoned and sheltered him until help arrived.
Amazingly, the infant had only superficial scratches and bleeding. Had it not been for the dog, the baby could have died. It was approximately 37 degrees outside and the dog carried the infant to her own litter of puppies and kept the baby warm.
The mother of the child was driven to the hospital by a neighbor the next day and turned in to the authorites. She is now under psychological observation and has little to say regarding the incident.
As this is a very sad story, I am thrilled that the baby was saved and the dog is a hero. Not to mention the wonderful people who came to his rescue.
May God bless all involved which saved the newborn! As far as the mother, she is a child herself and I hope that she gets the help she needs and that God will touch her in a special way.

Well-written, very sad article, with a happy ending--hopefully for all involved. AS you said, the mother was a baby herself and needed help as much as the infant. It just proves that God does watch over His children.Thanks and God bless.SandraThank you Sandra,God is awesome and has helped me more than I could even count.
