Surveillance Cameras Capture Shelter Dog Breaking Out Of Her Kennel To Comfort Crying Puppies

People often say that a mother’s love is like no other. But, as it turns out, this truth spans across species. An Australian shepherd cross named Maggie was staying at Barker’s Pet Motel and Grooming in Alberta, Canada, when she heard the cries of two rescue puppies one Friday night. The maternal dog knew the babies were scared to be alone during their first night at the pet motel.

Sandi returned to Barker's after dinner and was greeted by Maggie, who looked really excited. "She came to me and she was really happy, and then she took me back to their room, as if to say, 'I really need to meet these puppies.'" she said. Sandi let Maggie into the puppies' kennel and watched as the trio got acquainted. It became clear that she had nothing to worry about because the group looked so happy to be together. Maggie laid down and let the puppies cuddle with her. Seeing how comfortable they were, Sandi let them stay together that night. The following day, she found the trio in the same position. "The puppies needed her and she needed them. It was pretty perfect," she said. Maggie's owners came that day to pick her up. Sandi told them all about the dog's sweet gesture, and the pair weren't surprised; they knew they had a special dog in their hands.
