The dog had found the baby in an alley and was trying to save its life.

This sweet mama dog acted on her maternal instincts to protect an a.ban.doned newborn baby.

Way is a str.ay dog from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has a heart of gold. The street dog had just given birth to a litter of puppies and was doing everything in her power to care for them when she came across a a.ban.doned newborn baby.

She had always managed to su.rvive on the streets but now had
plenty of other mouths to feed, so she [scou.red] the area for any food she could find.
And that’s when Way came across a newborn human baby in an alley clearly a.ban.doned by its mother. The dog’s maternal instincts kicked in, and she knew the baby needed warmth. So Way ran back to her puppies and carried them one by one to place around the newborn. She then wrapped her body around the group the best she could.

Thankfully, a resident named Alejandria Griffin heard the cries of the newborn. And when she went outside to inve.stigate, she was absolutely s.tun.ned at what she saw. A str.ay dog had taken in an a.ban.doned baby as one of her own. She immediately called the police for help.

The baby was rushed to the [eme.rgency] room for immed.iate me.dical attention. Baby was in surprisingly good shape for what he’d been through, and most of that was thanks to the amazing care Way had provided.
This is a Mother’s instinct kicking in. She knew this baby was helpless and needed warmth to survive. Dogs are so amazing and caring, and loving animals.🐶❤

Police were able to track down the baby’s mother, a 33-year-old Buenos Aires woman who already had eight other children. She was [arr.ested] and [char.ged] with a.ban.doning her newborn baby.
The dog was taken in by a local shelter where she and her babies would be cared for until they could find forever homes.

Thank you Way for taking care of this infant and your puppies in the freezing cold! You are truly a hero ❤️
Truly amazing what animal instinct will kick in when need be. What a wonderful dog. ❤️👍✌️🤗
We can’t imagine what would have happened to that sweet baby without this mamma dog.🙏❤❤
