"I'm willing to take a chance just to keep my kids safe,"
Mothers always take care of their kids first. They are sure to be happy if their kids are happy.
They would give up everything to make sure the children were safe and protected.
You could say the same thing about the dog's mother in these pictures, who is fighting a terrible illness in order to save her child from drowning.
This dog, seen above with her puppies in her mouth, looks like she is having a hard time with the quickly rising floodwaters.
No one could help, so the mother dog had to rely on her instincts to get her baby to safety.
The floodwaters have reached a dangerous level, and if the puppy were left alone, it would probably drown.
The dog's mother seemed more willing to put herself and her child in danger than her child. It's wonderful how much a mother dog cares for her young.
It has been known for a long time that a woman's instinct to be a mother is natural and gets stronger during pregnancy and childbirth. You don't have to be a mother to have the same intuition as some women. But at this point, most pregnant women start to feel the urge to be a mother.
On the other hand, the hormone oxytocin often controls an animal's desire to be a mother. They have a strong urge to protect their young, just like people do. They love their kids very much.
In one case, the dog's mother was so scared of the rising floodwaters that she was willing to take a chance and face them to save her child.
The dog's mother's fierce love turned out to be both heartwarming and actually inspiring. May they both feel safe now!
