Having a dog is truly one of the best parts about the human experience on planet earth. Man’s best friend isn’t just a nickname, it’s a fact. Dogs are the most loyal companions you will ever come across in your entire life. There is nobody in the world, animal, plants or humans who will be more devoted and caring towards you. Anybody who has ever had a good dog can attest to this sentiment. When it comes to having a great pup, there is no better dog breed than the Golden Retriever.
Golden Retrievers are one of the kindest, most gentle and perfect breeds to add to your family. Not only are they great with kids, strangers, family and friends but they are also the perfect friend to go on a hike with, climb a mountain or just about doing anything at all with. Every year they are consistently in the top 5 most popular breeds in America. The only flaw of this particular breed I can even think of, is they do tend to shed a lot, but anybody who loves dogs won’t mind a little extra layer of fur all over their house or apartment.
This brings us to today’s story featuring a pregnant Golden Retriever named Rio who was just about to give birth to her second litter of adorable little puppies! This wasn’t her first rodeo, as her first pregnancy went very smoothly with no complications, she gave birth to 5 healthy pups and was an absolutely fabulous mother to them all. However, when the Veterinarian examined her during her second pregnancy he realized very soon that Rio wouldn’t be carrying only 5 little pups. The vet told Rio’s humans that he could be totally sure but there was going to be much more puppies this time around.
He explained to them that because she was pregnant with so many puppies this time around, it was going to be very important for her not to get over excited, worked up or use unnecessary energy that she would otherwise need during the pregnancy, then during birth and then for taking care of so many of the soon-to-be puppies!
Louise Sutherland Rio’s Human is from Scotland and the vet also told her that not only would she have to make sure there was no over-exertion but also that Louise would have to be prepared to help during the actual birth of the new pups! Louise loved Rio as if she was her own child so she eagerly accepted the vets advice and was prepared to do whatever she needed to do to make the rest of Rio’s pregnancy and birth as easy as possible.
Finally after 63 day on the dot, Rio was ready to give birth to her litter as she looked around for a nice soft warm area to nest and give birth to her puppies. Luckily for Rio, Louise was already prepared with a fresh big crate filled with soft blankets so that she could be as comfortable as possible during the birth of this huge litter and also so that the new pups introduction into the world would be as warm, cozy and loving as possible.
Louise was taking her job as serious as she possibly could. She had gloves, mucus sucker bottles of H2O, tissues to clean the pups and mom up and to top it all off 9 collars for each new adorable pup! Each collar was also a different color so that she could keep track of which puppy was which because at such a young age it is truly difficult to tell them apart!
Louise wanted to document this whole birth because there were going to be so many puppies and she also would love to show the vet and all her friends! So she turned on the video camera right on time and the birth began to commence. As the birth proceeded, each puppy one by one was just popping out. The Golden Retriever mama ended up giving birth to a total of 9 puppies! There were 8 male and just 1 female adorable Golden Retriever puppies. As far as Louise could tell, the entire birth besides the first pup which took a bit of time to come out, ran smooth, she inspected, weighed and looked over the puppies and for all intensive purposes they all looked and seemed completely healthy.
Then she noticed something very strange about one of the puppies. He looked similar in size and weight to the other pups however this little guy was a very rare and special puppy with a very strange colored fur coat….
