8-year-old Vidor girl braves claustrophobic spaces to rescue litter of puppies

​Once the puppies were born, the family was concerned about the impending cold weather.

In Vidor, Texas, a family was in distress when they discovered a litter of puppies trapped under an old shed in their vicinity. The family’s 8-year-old girl took immediate action to help.

A few weeks ago 8-year-old Lily Rivera and her family noticed a stray dog roaming near their home.

“She was dumped in our neighborhood probably about a month prior, she was a stray no one wanted anymore,” said Lily’s mother, Rachelle Rivera.

Soon they noticed that the stray would soon be a mother.

“We noticed she was getting a belly, we said oh lord Jesus, we’re about to have a bunch of puppies on our hands,” said Rachelle Rivera.

The family grew anxious about the approaching cold weather after the puppies were born. However, when they attempted to rescue the pups, they found them deeply lodged under the shed.

The shed itself was barely a foot off the ground, making it impossible for anyone to get to them. Well, almost anyone.

Lily’s mother, filming the rescue mission, proudly announced, “Hey guys, rescue mission in progress and this is the brave little girl, saving the day!” The 8-year-old fearlessly ventured into the small opening to reach the trapped puppies.

Lily wasted no time navigating the tight space under the shed, returning to the opening each trip with puppies in tow.

“I wasn’t even scared to go in at night,” said Lily.

Lily eventually emerged with the final puppy, a smile on her face, and 7 puppies at her feet.

“She’s my little fiery redhead, she’s brave,” said Rachelle Rivera.

Soon after, Lily and her family were able to get the new mom and her puppies to a safe and warm foster home.

A happy ending, all thanks to a little girl who was a perfect fit to save the day.
