A mother's love is fierce regardless of her species. No one proved that better than Amanda, a dog caught in a house fire in Chile yesterday with her litter of 10-day-old pups. According to the news publication Soy Chile, as firefighters battled the blaze, a photographer spotted the protective mother canine going back and forth from the house, dragging her puppies one by one and placing them in a firetruck compartment. The pups were taken to a nearby veterinary clinic, and all but one puppy survived. The photos from the scene have gone viral, drawing more than 1,000 comments on Reddit and inspiring countless others by her act of maternal love. [Source, translated]
