Dog Cried Nonstop Through Her Rescue Until They Realized She Was Breastfeeding

While walking past a ditch, a woman suddenly heard heartbreaking cries coming from somewhere nearby.
Curious and concerned, she moved closer—and that’s when she saw her.
There, lying helplessly in a canal, was a dog in serious distress. No one knew how long she had been there or what had happened to her.
The woman didn’t wait a second. She called a local rescuer for help right away.
A Dog In Deep Pain
When the rescuer arrived and saw the poor dog for the first time, she was frozen in place.

The dog’s cries were full of pain, and it was clear she was in serious trouble. But there was no time to lose. The rescuer quickly stepped into action.
As she tried to get closer, the dog lashed out in fear. Even though she wanted help, something inside was stopping her from letting anyone near.
The rescuer called for backup, knowing she couldn’t do it alone.

Together, they gently used a mat to lift the dog, since a leash couldn’t be used—one was already deeply embedded in her neck.
Once in the car, the dog finally calmed down a little. At the vet clinic, the team muzzled her gently so they could examine her safely.

X-rays revealed the source of her agony: her leg and pelvis were broken. No wonder she was crying so much. But there was something even deeper hurting her.

The rescuers noticed that she was still nursing. That meant somewhere out there, her puppies were alone and waiting.
Searching Through The Cactus
The woman who helped rescue the dog—now named Blanca—rushed back to where she had been found. She had no idea where the puppies might be.
Thankfully, some nearby farmers had seen the little ones and pointed her in the right direction.

The search led her through an area filled with thick cacti. And then, through the bars of the fence, she saw it—a tiny puppy head peeking out.

Tears filled her eyes as she gently picked up the little pup and kissed him over and over. He snuggled into her arms, knowing he was finally safe.

She didn’t stop there. Following faint cries, she found two more puppies hiding in the bushes.
Soon, all three babies were safe in her care.
Reunited At Last
While the pups were being brought to safety, Blanca was in surgery. Vets worked hard to fix her pelvis and leg with splints.
The recovery was tough, but seeing her babies again gave her strength. The moment they were reunited, her whole face lit up.
That’s when the rescuer finally understood.

The reason Blanca had been so unwilling to leave the ditch—despite her pain—was because her pups were still out there. She wouldn’t abandon them.
No one knows exactly what happened to Blanca. Maybe she fell into the ditch. Maybe she was left there by someone. The leash on her neck raised many questions.

What mattered most now was that Blanca was safe, loved, and back with her babies.
Each day, she grew stronger and happier. She no longer cried. Instead, she wagged her tail, smiled, and soaked in every moment with her little family.
