There's little a mother wouldn't do to save her babies, and that includes rescuing them one-by-one from a house fire.

Photos of a dog in Chile apparently carrying all five of her 10-day-old puppies from a burning house then placing them in the back of a fire truck made the rounds on social media Saturday.

Animals are often better parents than humans. Some of the moms I see in my neighborhood could learn some lessons from Amanda.

For those of you who wonder why I have that photo in the top right corner, click on the photo and hold on to your seat.

My wife saw this girl perfom several weeks back, and brought her to my attention.  Consider this a 'good news' item.

Now if only some of America’s “yutes” could have such dedicated mothers.

Thanks KansasGirl.

Some of those standing around taking pictures could’ve given her a hand! Did Lassie ever do nothing but take pictures when Timmy was in a fix? No!

You really want to get between that dog and her pups?

I’ve certainly never heard a ukelele played like that before.

this doggie mother is so much more a mother than some human mothers...don’t get me started.

[Moltke]

Heh. Good point. (Though I think she just might have appreciated a little help given that particular situation! "For all the times us dogs have gone in there to save a human baby, how about you put that camera down and get the next puppy? Arf, arf!")

Reminds me of Scarlett.

Excellent.

Love it, thanks. And thanks for all your hard work, I enjoy your pings.

The momma dog is awesome!

Truthfully when your post said ukulele I conjured up the typical image and started to pass. But I am a music lover and so glad I listened! The young lady is unbelievably talented! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you...
