50 Proud Dog Mommies With Their Puppies (New Pics)

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.

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.
