Labrador gets puppies: what happens next is so tragic

Compton (California/USA) - It is a tragic fate that is so close to home: a young female dog was simply abandoned somewhere in the middle of nowhere after giving birth to her puppies.

The Labrador was simply dumped on the side of the road like garbage. The animal rescuers immediately recognized that the dog must have recently had children.

"She kept poking her head out of the bushes [by the roadside]," animal rescuer Suzette Hall explained with a heavy heart in a Facebook post.

It seemed as if the four-legged friend was looking for a miracle - and it was soon to come!

A friend of Hall's, Aturo Flores, became aware of the Labrador lady, noticed signs that the dog must have been pregnant recently and immediately dialed his friend's number.

"This poor baby was limping and must have been so hungry. She was soooooooo thin," Hall wrote sadly.

For the US-American it was immediately clear: she had to help. And as quickly as possible!

Together with her buddy Flores, she set off and felt her heart break on the spot: "Her eyes were glowing, she was so beautiful. She was so scared of everything and everyone."

Bitch exploited for breeding and then disposed of like garbage

Without further ado, the pair set up a trap and lured the dog in with a few treats. And lo and behold: "She was so hungry that she didn't hesitate for a minute. She ran straight into it."

What Hall found out shortly afterwards still leaves her dumbfounded to this day: after she and Flores had searched the entire area, they finally realized that there was no trace of the puppies.

The gruesome reason: most likely the puppy had only been used for breeding. No sooner had she served her purpose than she was dumped on the street like garbage.

"That poor girl," Hall continues. "But all that is in the past now."

After the tragic rescue operation, the dog was finally taken to the vet, as she had probably broken her leg. This is now being treated by a specialist. And Hall is also certain: "Her mind will soon be healed too."
