There’s nothing like a mother’s love for her newborn. That adage was proven last month when a mama dog in Chile was caught in a forest fire with her nine 2-week-old puppies.

Not able to find a way to safety, this brave and loving mama dog dug a large hole in the ground, placed all nine of her precious pups in it and covered it with a metal shield. Witnesses reported seeing her dig the hole and said she stayed nearby to monitor the situation.

Many offers of adoption have poured in for Negrita and her puppies.
