An eight-year-old dog has touched the hearts of Argentines by saving the life of an abandoned baby, placing him safely alongside her own new puppies.
The country's media are calling him "the miracle baby".
He was born prematurely to a 14-year-old girl in a shanty town outside the capital, Buenos Aires.
She is said to have panicked and abandoned the boy in a field, surrounded by wooden boxes and rubbish.
Then along came La China, the dog which somehow picked up the baby and carried him 50m to place him alongside her own puppies.
The dog's owner heard the child crying and found him covered with a rag.
The baby, weighing 4kg (8lb 13oz), had some slight injuries, but no bite marks. The owner called the police and the child is now being looked after by the authorities, while a decision is taken about his future.

The dog's owner says all the publicity and attention has frightened the dog out of her mind.
She does not look happy! (No good deed goes unpunished!)

Under Obama, the dog would be charged with impeding a botched abortion.

Well.. “dog” is “god” backwards —
But this little poochie acted more like a four footed guardian angel.....
He’ll get all the doggie bones and kibble he can hold in heaven for his deed!

if the story is true, the dog might have had the bady a while and have nursed it some and cause weight gain?

her owner says he is worried that she is not eating. Well, no wonder. A bunch of people stole her midnight snack.

It’s a feel good story but I doubt if all of it is true.
To: duckbutt

“she” will get all the doggie bones and kibble “she” can hold in heaven for “her” deed”.

Yeah, unfortunately the Obama principle requires that this baby not survive - the dog did a BAD thing. Bad doggie, bad doggie...... /sarcasm
what a beautiful story - the power of LIFE and the friendship of dogs who truly are our “best friends” in the animal world.

Maybe we should encourage dogs to immigrate here...y’know, to do the jobs American mothers won’t do?

if the story is true, the dog might have had the bady a while and have nursed it some and cause weight gain? There are precedents.
