As the couple hiked in the California woods, slowly approaching its depth, little did they know that an adorable surprise awaited them.
While they were walking, they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the creek, so they decided to check what it was.
Once they reached the creek, they were surprised to see a mama dog giving birth to cute little puppies.
A Loving Foster Home
The hikers immediately took the mama dog, Ruby, and her three puppies to a local shelter. Eight days later, Hopalong Animal Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue based in Oakland, California, took them in.
They called Thom McCallum, one of the rescue’s foster parents, and asked him to take care of mama dog Ruby and her puppies, Jax, Tito, and Kirby.
As soon as McCallum came to pick them up, he noticed that Ruby was timid and very exhausted.
