Bellagio

His mama is a pit mix that was out with her babies in Farmersville and got too close too a ranch owner’s property that had sheep and she was shot three times. A few teenagers saw it happen and scooped mama up and drove her to the ER asking for help. When she arrived, the staff told them that she is lactating and has babies somewhere and asked them to drive back out there and see if they could find them. It was about 25 degrees that night and young puppies without their mother would simply just not survive. With her being out in farm country we felt like looking for and finding these babies is like a needle in a haystack. Amazingly enough in the wee hours of the night the kids came back with a bundle of her puppies that they did in fact find. It’s an absolute miracle that they are even alive, but they are and they immediately started nursing on their mama and were so happy to be warm and safe.

This little male pup wearing a purple collar is named Bellagio.
