Si Bao lovingly nuzzles and protects her pups, all while balancing on her front legs.
She’s a tough mommy, and a survivor.
There are over 130 million stray dogs living on the streets in China, with Si Bao and her puppies just being a tiny part of that population. The number of strays has been growing because of China’s urbanization. Families are moving deeper into cities and high-rise apartments that have little room for pets. So, much like this girl’s owner did, they leave their pets behind.
We hope this unique momma dog and her puppies find a good home, safe from speeding trains and with plenty of love.
