This poor dog doesn't have a home of her own.
Some rescuers spotted her and are trying to help,
but she didn't want to leave her field.
They weren't sure why
until they moved closer
and found...
puppies!
All hiding underground.
She'd put the pups there to keep them safe,
but this was no place for a mom and her pups.
The rescuers knew they had to act fast.
Since the mama dog was too afraid to come near,
"Oh, she's going, she's going."
they decided to get her puppies out first.
But how?
The hole was pretty deep,
and they didn't want to risk hurting the pups by digging them out.
So...
they decided to do things the old-fashioned way.
"All I've got is my hand on his neck."
"Trying to get his front paws, you see?"
"Come on."
"It's OK, come on!"
"Heyyy..."
"Hello!"
"Come on, little one."
"You're stuck, almost..."
Just like that,
"Hola!"
two puppies were out!
"Look at you!"
"Hello!"
They could hear more,
but there was a problem.
"No, too far down?"
"Yeah."
The rest of the puppies were too far down to reach.
That meant they'd have to do the one thing they had tried to avoid:
using tools to dig them out.
One wrong move,
and they might accidentally hurt one of the pups.
But there was no other way.
"Come on."
"This one wants out."
"Come on, baby. Out you come."
"Ohhhhhh!"
"Muy bien!"
Had they gotten all of them?
Nope.
There was still one more left.
"Oy, oy, oy!"
"Hello!"
(joyful laughing)
"Hello!"
Now that all the puppies were out,
it was time to take them to the vet.
The rescuers were so happy!
But the real work was only just beginning.
Now they had to go back for the mom.
Luckily,
she wasn't hard to find.
"She's going to look for her babies."
Eventually...
they caught her!
Finally,
they were safe.
After the mom and puppies had some time to feel better and grow,
each one found a loving family
to adopt them.
The rescuers couldn't ask
for a happier ending.
It's the reason
they do whatever it takes to help animals in need.
"Oh, adorable."
No matter how deep of a hole they're in.
