Our heart always goes out to any dog that has been abandoned.
In this particular case, however, it broke our heart because it was a mother dog who was abandoned with her puppies.
It happened in Serbia, but thanks to the Dog Rescue Shelter in Mladenovac, Serbia, they have an opportunity to move on with their life.
Like any good mother would do, the dog was protecting one of her pups by holding it into her mouth.
Dehydration had set in and the dogs were hungry but as their rescuer approached, the only thing he could see were the “sad and frightened eyes” of the mother dog.
It’s always nice to see a mama and her pups getting a second chance at life.
