When Blackdog All Breed Dog Rescue saved a very pregnant pit bull this month they were worried. Sweet Bonnie was tiny, and her belly was so big. The pooch is a pup herself, at only one-year-old, this is her second litter.
The Chicago area rescue wanted to get an X-ray of Bonnie's belly to see what exactly was going on in there.
"We were worried," Megan Albright, from Blackdog All Breed Dog Rescue, told Watchdog Mary. "And then when we saw the X-ray, I was like, ‘Holy cow!' I was more worried about her making it through the pregnancy than anything else."
The group loved the X-ray so much they posted it on their Facebook page saying:
"How many of Bonnie’s puppies can you count? Even the veterinarian had a hard time! She has a mall frame, she’s a tiny thing, and there are a lot of puppies packed in there."
How many puppies do you count?
Days after the vet took the X-ray Bonnie gave birth to 10 perfect puppies. Everything worked out quite well. Albright was relieved to know what to expect ahead of time. "I wanted to make sure we knew exactly how many were in there, so we really knew when she was done."
This will be Bonnie's last litter, after she's all done nursing, and being an excellent mom to her pups, she will be up for adoption, and so will her puppies. "We can't wait to see her puppies grow. We are adopting out to local Chicagoland families only. We are definitely taking applications, and we would love to find the right family fo mama," Albright said.
If you'd like to help Bonnie and her puppies, the rescue has this Amazon wish list with the supplies the growing family needs. To donate or apply to adopt, head to their website. There’s also an upcoming baby shower for the pooch family too.
