I have read from the news today that a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog gave birth to 17 puppies. The owner has to feed the puppies through feeding bottles because the mother of the puppies could not accommodate to feed them all and she does it 5 times a day. It's quite a tough for her though but I think it's enjoyable. It's like the puppies are your own kids. But the owner said that she plans to give out most of the puppies away because she can't afford to keep them all. I wish i could get one. :)

Its really exciting and happy to know that the dog mother labored such a big number of puppies. I hope all the puppies will lived., According to the vet there's only a small chances that all the 17 puppies will be alive.

Luckily all the 17 puppies survived. They were born Sept 28. The news just got out now from Berlin. All of them are alive.
