3. It was a shock but a cool experience.

She was a sheep dog and very shaggy and I never noticed. One day I just heard some puppy squealing and found the dog giving birth under my bed. I moved mom and the puppies into the bathtub… where she delivered the rest of the brood. They were ready for adoption a couple of weeks before Christmas and we made a lot of kids happy.

4. Awww

Mine was a shock too. I found this dog on a beach when I was painting a friend's parents' beach house one winter. She looked like a black lab but I never found an owner, the place was deserted anyway. I took her back to college with me and got a job with a vet to support her, and she had puppies about a month later. I did know she was pregnant before she whelped and built her a whelping box but she opted to have the puppies in my bed in the middle of the night.

She was a wonderful dog and I was totally in love with her and with the puppy I kept. Since then I've been smitten with labs but all my dogs have been rescue mongrels (and were all amazing, obviously). I bought my first purebred 2 years ago ( not many rescue dogs in the Netherlands) and of course I got a black lab. She could not be more unlike my first rescue if she tried.

6. Give her a hug from me.

I have a lovely little pittie right now. She’s a real love bug.

7. I will

Tell your dog we said hi! Willow doesn't do hugs, actually. She's a lab who won't cuddle, but she said you should give your pup a COOKIE!

11. What a beautiful mama and babies.

She looks like a purebred of some sort. It seems odd that no one would have been looking for her.
