The unfortunate pitbull abandoned by its owner and starved for 10 days successfully gave birth and did everything in its power to protect her fragile puppies — a story that has touched the hearts of many.
Pitbulls are often considered one of the most notorious breeds, known for being aggressive, dangerous, and quick to attack humans. However, this story will change the way people see them.
Lara, a pitbull, was found abandoned near the Nafplion port in Greece. Her owner had tied her to a tree without food or water. Because of her breed’s reputation, no one dared to approach her, unaware that Lara was pregnant.
Despite being left alone, starving, and unable to move freely, Lara managed to give birth to four adorable puppies.
For the next 10 days, Lara did everything she could to keep her babies alive, even though she herself was weak and malnourished. When rescuers finally found them, Lara was severely dehydrated and undernourished, but her puppies were still playful and energetic.
Lara had not only stood guard over her babies but also tried to find food for them by chewing on plants and grass around her — a mother’s instinct to protect her young at all costs. Unfortunately, the smallest puppy did not survive.
In the end, Lara and her puppies were adopted by a kind family. At first, Lara was timid and cautious in her new home. She refused to eat, as if still haunted by the trauma of being abandoned and starved.
But gradually, Lara recovered, felt the love and care of her new owners, and started to live happily again. Today, Lara and her puppies are safe, healthy, and thriving.
