Humane society saves puppies from obstructed labor

A man in Massachusetts helped save his dog and her puppies after a long and difficult labor. His 4-year-old Chihuahua, named Mara, was in labor for 12 hours but still hadn’t delivered her puppies. Worried about her health, the owner walked a mile to the Dakin Humane Society for help. Upon arrival, a staff member confirmed that Mara was likely experiencing obstructed labor, which could endanger both her and her puppies. The man quickly rushed back home and returned with Mara in his arms. The humane society acted fast. They took Mara into surgery and successfully delivered both puppies. The team reported that both the puppies and Mara were doing well after the procedure. The humane society shared happy pictures of the new family, highlighting the impact of community support. They stated, “This is what your support does. It saves lives. It keeps families together.”
