In this video we see the maternal instincts of a mama dog kick in to save her puppies from the freezing weather in Mladenovac, Serbia. She asks a man to take her puppies hiding from the cold inside a pipe to warmth and safety, and shows her gratitude in the most heartwarming way!
Maternity Instincts In Dogs
It is no secret that mama dogs care for their newborn puppies – staying close by their side for the first weeks of their life. Puppies are born pretty helpless and rely on their mother for milk, warmth, and care. During these first few weeks, the mama dog can be extremely protective of her puppies growling and snapping at potential threats.
A Mother’s Love
Mama dogs form strong bonds with their litter, and this is the first form of love, protection, and safety the puppies experience. These bonds are also essential for helpless newborns to survive, be it in the wild or homes. No wonder this mama dog ran to the man begging for help!
What Can The Cold Do To Puppies?
You might think that dogs are more protected from the cold than humans due to their fur, but this is untrue! Dogs, especially puppies, are susceptible to frostbite on their tiny paws and ears. They even run the risk of hypothermia when exposed to extremely cold temperatures for too long!
What Can You Do To Help A Freezing Dog?
Some suggest that you give dogs struggling against the cold some lukewarm, not hot, water. You can also slowly increase the heat in your car and house, and cover them in a blanket. However, be careful of warming them up too quickly or placing heaters or warm water bottles against them – this could lead to burns on their skin.
Display Of Gratitude
Now that we’ve gone a bit deeper into the risks these puppies faced in the snowy weather, and how deeply their mother cares for them, we understand her desperate call for help. And it makes her display of gratitude and kisses towards their hero so much sweeter!
Where Are They Today?
The video shows us the three pups after 6 months, and they look happy and healthy! They are even all adopted to loving, and warm, homes. All this is thanks to one man showing kindness and care to a distraught mama dog.

Last Say On The Dogs Saved From The Cold
We love to see humans showing kindness to helpless animals! And this interaction does just that. From worrying about her puppies’ safety to showering their savior with kisses of gratitude, I think it is safe to say that this is one happy mama dog!
