Although there are not enough 101 Dalmatians like in the movie, this is fun enough.

 

We must be all too familiar with the birth of cats and dogs. But the story of "Mother" Nellie the dog below is genuinely extraordinary.

Specifically, after 14 hours of labor, the Dalmatian mother gave birth to 18 puppies, including 10 males and 8 females, all healthy, although the number could not reach 101 like in the famous Disney cartoon.

Nellie's owner, Louise Clement, from Preston, UK, said the mother dog had a tough time "when the baby was just out".

"I thought she was going to stop at 15 because she looked tired, but no, the puppies kept coming. This proves that Nellie is a great mum and I'm so proud of her. Proud of it ’ - says Louise.

Louis has been a dog owner for 30 years and currently has 27 dogs. "Luckily we have enough space for the dogs to play freely, they all live in the same house, some kids sleep in the kitchen, some sleep in the living room... some like to climb on my bed." " - shared owner.

According to sharing, this owner will have one puppy and the rest will be sent out of town.

Nellie, who gave birth to 19 puppies last year, still loses the record for another dog mother in Australia named Melody, despite the sheer number of puppies, according to reports.
