Dog saves puppies from wildfire by digging shelter

A mama dog in Chile saved her litter of nine puppies by digging a shelter for them. Witnesses saw the black lab lead the puppies behind a large shipping container and dig a shelter under the container while a large fire burned near them in Valparaiso, Chile. After saving her pups the mother dog, who has been nicknamed “Blackie” by rescue workers, found her own shelter. All of the dogs survived and several Valparaíso residents have stepped forward to adopt the entire family.

Somebody give this dog a Red Card!
