A stag party in the States dropped their plans to rescue a bunch of puppies instead

This is how animals should be treated.

This group of Michigan gentlemen headed off to the woods for a stag (or bachelor, to use their own term) party. “We were cooking bacon with the door open. The next thing you know, there’s this dog sitting right at the front door. She wouldn’t come inside, but she sat right there,” Mitchel Craddock told ABC News. The lads were all big softies and they grew fond of the pooch. “She was such a sweet dog that once we gained her trust, she was happy to see us, wagging her tail - just a big sweetheart,” said Mitchel. The men realised that the dog had recently had pups, but she looked malnourished and dehydrated. Because they’re good people, they fed her and nourished her. “After we gave her a bunch of food and water, she started producing milk again. So we figured if she’s making milk, her pups can’t be that old,” said the groom-to-be. Soon, they discovered the spot where the pups were hiding. “We set each pup individually down in front of her, and she nuzzled their faces, and she checked out the pups, and to the person holding them, she gave the look of ‘It’s OK, I trust you,’” Mitchel said. Mammy dog had been taking good care of her babies. “Every single one had a big fat belly on them. The mom had given the pups literally everything she had,” continued Mitchel. The men dedicated the rest of their weekend to caring for the puppies. “We pooled a bunch of money to buy food and beer. After the third day, our beer fund turned into puppy food fund,” said Mitch. Better yet, the pals all adopted the dogs. Even better, they all live really close together so the doggy brothers and sisters will regularly see each other and get to play. And that, people, is how all animals should be treated.
