Mama Dog and Puppies Buried Alive on University Campus Saved in the Nick of Time! (PHOTOS)

A group of students at Lanzhou University in western China got the surprise of a lifetime when they heard muffled barking coming from an area of freshly laid turf on campus. After a bit of digging, they were shocked to uncover a mother dog, who had been buried alive, while nursing six puppies! In a wonderful display of human kindness, the students rescued and fed the animals, keeping them hidden in a secret campus location and sneaking them food. As they grew, some of the puppies began to wander off, which is when they called in

In a wonderful display of human kindness, the students rescued and fed the animals, keeping them hidden in a secret campus location and sneaking them food. As they grew, some of the puppies began to wander off, which is when they called in Animals Asia to help.

Animals Asia is an amazing organization that is dedicated to the health and well-being of Asia’s many different kinds of animals. Luckily, they had room for Mama and her pups at a nearby facility.

Even after being the victim of such terrible cruelty, Mama is still willing to trust humans. What a sweet girl!

Soon, the pups were eating solid food, meaning it was almost time to find their forever homes.

Who wouldn’t want to snuggle this little cutie every day?

Social media is proving to be a powerful tool, especially when it comes to finding homes for animals. After sharing the pup’s story, Animals Asia was able to find a loving home for the pups in the UK!  

This charming rags to riches story is only one example of how many people are out there, helping animals, all over the world.
