A Pregnant Dog at My Gate Changed Everything
One cold afternoon, a pregnant dog appeared at my gate, clearly distressed and near labor—she was 63 days along. Knowing dogs typically give birth between 58–68 days, I realized she needed immediate care.
She showed signs of labor: panting, restlessness, and seeking comfort. I created a quiet space and called a vet for guidance. Labor in dogs happens in three stages—pre-labor, active delivery, and post-birth. I stayed by her side, ready to assist if complications arose.
After the puppies were born, I ensured they nursed and monitored their health. This experience reminded me how powerful compassion can be and how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is.
