Heartbroken Dog Waits For Owner To Return For Her And Her Pups

Oct 26, 2020

In May, a Dog Rescue Shelter in Mladenovac, Serbia, posted a video showing a dog with two little puppies left by the roadside. As of this writing, the video has attracted over 8.8 million viewers, with the number of viewers growing daily.

The video shows the dog momma alone nursing her tiny puppies, and it looks more or less like she's waiting for the return of her owner. While it's difficult to tell whether the dog was intentionally left behind, that seems to be the case because she was not trustful and yielding to those who approached her with water and food.

However, the dog had made an aggressive growl when someone tried to offer her water and food—she was protective of her puppies. 

Another older gentleman saw the dog by the roadside, and he was kind enough to call the local Dog Rescue Shelter to come to the scene and help. The man was patient enough to wait until the rescuers arrived, and he led them to where the dog was with her puppies.

The rescuers wore gloves on their hands and cautiously approached the dog. Surprisingly, the dog was very docile and even allowed them to pat her and her puppies. Maybe the dog realized she needed help, and the rescuers could not harm her but were helping. She even looked happy to let them stroke her little puppies.

The rescuers took the dog and the two puppies and loaded them into their van. To be sure they were not leaving any puppy behind, they looked around in the bushes, and as luck would have it, they discovered the third pup that had wiggled away into the bush and picked it.

The rescuers reunited the animal with the mother and the other two puppies. They continued with the search but could not find any other puppy—there were only three of them; one male and two females. Soon, the dog family arrived in their new home.

Everyone hopes all the puppies will find permanent homes once they get weaned. Their mother has been named, Moli, and she's doing well. She's healthy, feeding well, and even making new friends. The Dog Rescue Shelter reported that Moli is a beautiful dog, and she's taking good care of her puppies.

Moli's case isn't an isolated case in Serbia. There are many stray dogs and those that have been left behind in the country, making it hard for animal advocates to control their numbers. Serbia doesn't have a good record of animal rights, and the many years of war have just made matters worse. People are more concerned about their problems, like housing and hunger than they are about animals.

There are many horrifying stories of animal mistreatment in the country, making it necessary for animal rights campaigns to occur in the country. The unwanted cats and dogs in the country are taken care of by volunteers who try as much as possible to keep them comfortable even with the limited resources they have.

That explains why Moli and her pups are among the lucky few dogs to have proper shelter in a loving and caring foster home. The shelter home where Moli is cares for 20 cats and 350 dogs. And it depends on funding from volunteers.

Moli's story shows how stray dogs are suffering out there in the cold, some even having small puppies. By letting your friends or family read this story, they can get inspired to volunteer and help these animals. Let us know how this story made you feel in the comments.
