A 6-year-old black Labrador has given birth to a bumper litter of 14 adorable puppies. After a pregnancy scan radically underestimated the size of the unborn brood, the dog’s owners were shocked to welcome one of the largest Labrador litters recorded in history.

Mamma dog Bella’s initial pregnancy scan indicated that she was expecting six offspring. “Normally I would have expected her to deliver a litter of around six or eight puppies,” said Bella’s owner Hazel Hedges, 31, a registered dog breeder, according to the Independent.
