Dog Saves, Protects Abandoned Baby

By Dustin

Add this to the list of amazing things dogs can do: Rescue abandoned babies–human babies, that is.

In rural region of Argentina, a newborn baby was abandoned by its 14-year-old mother in a field. Amazingly, a dog, who was herself a mother, dragged the baby more than 50 meters to the location of her puppies.

According to doctors, the baby would have most likely died if the dog had not rescued it.

The baby was found with only a few scrapes and bruises.

I was thinking the same thing.
If you saw the video, looks like the dog lives in poor conditions.
