A big dog foster co-ordinator and transport driver of an animal shelter had a road trip to remember while driving 49 pups from Kentucky to Minnesota for rehoming. One of the dogs, a pregnant pit bull-mix, gave birth to a staggering 14 puppies on the road.

When Summer from Secondhand Hounds (SHH) “drove down [to Kentucky], nobody had given birth,” SHH executive director Rachel Mairose told WCCO. “She loaded them into her van ... crossed her fingers, put extra bedding in all the momma-to-be’s crates, and started driving.”
