Want proof that a mother will do anything for her little ones?
I recently shared this story about a 55-year-old mother getting her PHD in neuroscience in hopes of finding a cure for her teenage son's debilitating disease.
But it's not just humans who will sacrifice it all to save their children. This elephant didn't hesitate to risk her own life when her calf was close to drowning. Many times, animals are more selfless than humans…and even more often that not, they can be more clever, too.
The following story about a mother dog and her puppies actually gave me chills when I read it. A dog now being called "Blacky" was unbelievably resourceful when a huge forest fire broke out near the city of Valparaíso in Chile, where the strays were living.
With nine puppies to look after, the odds were not in this mother's favor, but it seems as if she may have been hanging around with Smokey the Bear, because she knew exactly what to do. Amazingly, Blacky dug a hole underneath a large metal shipping container and shoved the pups underneath it, while she sought shelter herself.
Dogs are pretty amazing, but the way this dog seems to understand science just blows my mind!
Love brave animals like Blacky? Please SHARE this story on Facebook!
