It happened in Turkey. A passerby sounded the alarm: there were eight puppies trapped in a drainage channel on Kumbahçe beach. The cubs were about to drown as it was slowly filling with seawater.

Firefighters came. They were able to slow down the drain from continuing to fill with water, but it was impossible for them to access the puppies to remove them because the hole was too narrow.

That’s when a firefighter noticed that a dog was nursing a puppy in a nearby building. They realized that the puppy looked like those who remained in the drain… they had found the mother!

They called the dog. She came. They took her down the hole so she could rescue the puppies. And so he did, one by one. Within an hour, all the puppies were nursing with their mother.

Now, the mother is being fed by the neighbors, who are already looking for a way to be able to give the animals up for adoption.

This is called being a brave mom!
