In an act of heinous cruelty, a dog owner tied their pregnant dog to a tree in a forest and left her to die. The dog not only survived, but she also gave birth to puppies and kept them alive for 10 days while tied.

When Lara, a Pit Bull mix, became pregnant, her owner decided she and her puppies were not worth caring for. As a result, they committed the most heinous crime. Her owner tied her to a tree in a forest near Nafplion, Greece, instead of finding her a new home or putting her in a shelter.

Lara was heavily pregnant at the time, and she was left alone and tied to a tree in the cold forest in the middle of nowhere. While still tied, Lara gave birth to four puppies.

She not only survived, but she also kept her puppies alive for 10 days in the absence of food, water, and shelter! What a mother’s struggle to keep her pups alive!

When some nearby villagers told rescuers about her, they rushed to the scene and took her and her puppies with them. One of the puppies, unfortunately, died.

However, thanks to the rescuers’ love and care, the remaining three puppies and their mother began to recover their health. They’re all doing fine now, and they’re just as mischievous and adorable as you’d expect from a puppy.

We hope the original owner is apprehended and sentenced for cruelty to animals. We’re glad the rescuers found the dog and her pups before anything worse happened. Let us hope the pups find a permanent home soon!
