When a group of dog rescuers arrived at the market to show the dogs available   
   for adoption, somebody had left 12 puppies on the street  8 of them were   
   approximately 5 weeks old.   
      
   In shock, the rescuers didnt know what to do. The group had recently canceled   
   several adoption days at the market because of bad weather, so they were over   
   their capacity with puppies still needing to be adopted out. Also, the   
   abandoned puppies were so small that they needed to be fed every two hours,   
   including at night.   
      
   Thats when a spayed stray dog approached, lay down beside the shoe box where   
   the puppies were sleeping, and began caring for them.   
      
      
      
   She wouldnt let anyone get near the babies.   
      
   Very carefully, the rescuers placed the puppies closer to her.   
      
   She began caressing them and offering the warmth of her belly to the newborns.   
      
      
   The maternal instinct kicked in and after a few hours, she had milk and was   
   feeding the puppies.   
      
      
   The rescue group named her Vida, which means life in Portuguese.
