Her rescue was nothing short of miraculous, as she wandered the streets, pregnant and alone, until a kind family decided to take her in.
Little did they know, Bess’s journey would be filled with both challenges and heartwarming moments.

Shortly after her rescue, Bess faced a dire situation that sent her new family rushing to the emergency room.
One of her smallest puppies, Burrdie, was blocking the birth canal, causing severe complications.
The vet warned that not all the puppies might survive the ordeal.
It was a heartbreaking moment, filled with uncertainty and fear.
But the family was determined to give all twelve puppies a fighting chance, refusing to leave any behind.

Burrdie, the smallest and most vulnerable of the litter, required extra feedings and constant attention to ensure she would thrive.
The family went above and beyond, making sure she was fed every couple of hours, day and night.
Bess, a patient and gentle mother, formed a particularly strong bond with Burrdie.
To make sure Burrdie received the care she needed, they tied a pink bow around her neck as a signal for extra attention.
