As I wandered past an old, run-down shed, I caught sight of her—a mama dog, chained and alert, standing protectively over her puppies.
Her eyes met mine, filled with a mix of exhaustion and determination to guard her little family. Around her feet, tiny pups huddled together, one venturing close to her side while the others stayed in the shadows.
The chain around her neck told a story I didn’t want to imagine, one of struggle and survival in a place that offered little comfort.
The puppies looked small and vulnerable, their future uncertain if left in these conditions. My heart ached for them.
I crouched down, speaking softly to her. She watched me cautiously but didn’t growl or retreat. It was as if she knew I wanted to help. I snapped a photo, determined to rally support for this brave mama and her little ones.
This family deserves so much more—a safe place, warm beds, and the love they’ve likely never known.
