This tiny little puppy is about to be devoured by a huge doberman looking stray dog!
Although the cute fluffy mut was busy barking at passing people, the Doberman proved very used friendly, litte did I know when I created this page about the wild pack dogs of Bulgaria that such a problem could arise. The wild dogs I have so far encountered have been peaceful although I have heard stories of locals being attacked by the wild dogs of Bulgaria
A THREE LEGGED MOTHER with her SIX NEWBORN PUPS!
She was extremely emaciated yet her pups were quite fat. One of the pups was for sure the runt of the litter, the rest were more like teddy bears, fat healthy and very playful!
This mother had her pups near the edge of a small Bulgarian village. Once the pups were old enough she took them all to the local supermarket where she hoped she may be given enough food to help feed her pups.
I took her some little cat biscuits food as the puppies were slowly being weaned off her milk. The mother was far too skinny and hungry to sustain so many pups for much longer.
The first time I visited mother and pups, there were 6 puppies, when I went to feed her again, it was down to four puppies, I was a little concerned, until I noticed Bulgarian mothers and their little children coming to see the new born playful pups and going off with their chosen new pet!
The puppy, photo above right, was by far the fattest of the pups born, he was the most playful rolling over for us to tickle his tummy and he looked more like a Bulgarian Bear than a little puppy dog!
Does Bulgaria have bears? Yes!
