Mum's dog with a broken leg tries to lead doctors 3.2km to an abandoned car to care for her 10 babies.

Psychologist Liane Powell, 49, came across a sickly, emaciated dog with a broken front leg wandering the Vila market in southern Spain, reports the Mirror.

The poor dog was known to have been abandoned by hunters. She sympathized with the poor dog's plight and took the dog to veterinarian Ellen Sobry on January 20 for treatment.

The poor dog was named Vera after the town where Powell found her, following a health check.

But they noticed that the bitch Vera, about 2-3 years old, was producing milk, which indicated that she had given birth just a few days ago. Sobry and Powell set out to find the puppies.

The female dog named Vera led them 3.2 kilometers to reach the puppies

Sobry (39 years old) shared, "After discovering the injured dog with a broken leg and profuse bleeding, we muzzled him, put him on a leash, and then headed back to the market. Vera guided us for nearly 3.2 kilometers, leading us through fields and mud, until we reached the abandoned car. It knows its exact destination. I couldn't believe my eyes when the mother dog decided to trust us and lead us to the pups."

They find 10 puppies huddled side by side in the broken back seat. Vera is recovering at the Clinivet Turre clinic in Sobry. The pair are contacting the Ibizan Hound Rescue organization in Murcia, southern Spain, to find a home for the recovering dogs.

"Vera and her cubs are healthy," Sobry said. Vera's broken leg was also examined and carefully bandaged. Vera is also recovering well and only needs to eat, sleep, and breastfeeding.

After the video was shared on social networks, many people were deeply moved and impressed by the dog's maternal love. Maternal love is really a sacred feeling that does not distinguish between races and species. Animals are willing to take extraordinary measures to safeguard their offspring.
