THIS is the heart-wrenching moment a mummy dog carries her seriously ill pup into the vets to receive life-saving treatment.
CCTV footage shows the heartwarming moment when a homeless dog in Turkey carries a helpless puppy in her mouth and leaves it at the doorstep of a veterinary clinic during a rainy day.
A vigilant veterinary technician spotted the abandoned puppy and rushed it inside the clinic for immediate care in Beylikduzu, Istanbul.
The mother dog is captured following closely behind the medic who urgently carries the limp pup through the clinic.
Inside the clinic, the dedicated vet team swiftly sprang into action, providing injections and drying the wet fur of the tiny pup to help it recover.
Medics found the pup to have a dangerously low heart rate and had to immediately place the little pooch in intensive care, meaning the mother dog had carried her baby in just in time.
But the mum didn’t stray from her baby, as she’s seen on CCTV remaining incredibly close by while vets worked on the pup on the treatment table.
Veterinarian Baturalp Oghan revealed that the dog had previously given birth to a litter of pups nearby – but most them tragically died.
Animal lovers had even brought in one surviving puppy to the clinic, unaware there was another close by in near-fatal condition.
It’s believed the mum dog found her last remaining puppy before bringing it to the clinic.
Dr Oghan explained that her milk was insufficient, but the clinic were supporting the puppies with additional food.
The dog and her pups are now being cared for at the clinic, where their health is thankfully steadily improving.
Dr Oghan explained just how touched he and the clinic staff were from the mum dog’s determination to save her puppy.
The vet staff also all hope to find a loving home for the dog family once they fully recover following the ordeal.
Dr Oghan said: “Everything is going well so far. The treatment for both the puppy and its sibling will continue for a little longer.
“During this time, we are not accepting visitors due to their health.
“The mother dog is recovering well.
“Her story has intrigued so many people, she’s a very intelligent and caring dog.
“It shows the love that a mother dog has for her puppies.”
