Canine mothers are the first to love and protect their newborn puppies. For the first few weeks, they shower their babies with undivided attention and care, making sure that they get the best opportunity in life.
Since puppies enter this world unable to see, hear, or walk, this early period is extremely crucial (it's estimated that they spend about 10 percent of the time eating and the other 90 percent sleeping) — their mother's job is to meet all their needs; from nourishment to helping them poop.
Of course, that's not all. As time goes by, dog mommies continue to further their babies' independence. And you can easily tell these wonderful animals take their parental duties seriously. Just continue scrolling and take a look at Bored Panda's new list of pictures of canine mothers and their little critters.

Shouldn't be breeding Frenchies or Pugs. It's inevitable that some, if not all, of these cute little puppers will develop breathing problems, spinal disorders, heart disease or joint problems. Do you really want to push all of that onto your little pup just because you want a 'cute' dog that you can flaunt on social media? Don't be selfish.

Downvote for the conditions they're kept in. These sort of places are bad breeders, stay away from them. Never buy puppies where dogs are kept in straw and deplorable conditions.
