Heroic Mother Dog Protects Her Puppies Against All Odds

Countless innocent dogs are in danger of being euthanized at any given moment across the country. Approximately 3.9 million dogs enter shelters every year and around 1.2 million dogs are euthanized. Many shelter dogs are in grave danger of meeting this fate - including a dog who appeared to know exactly what might happen to her. The High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) visits shelters to photograph dogs who are in need of adoption or rescue. On one of its recent trips to the City of Portales Animal Shelter, HPHS captured the most heartbreakingly tragic photograph of a female dog peering longingly at the photographer through her cage. The HPHS shared the picture on its Facebook page.
