Touching pictures of a dog rescuing her ten-day-old puppies from a house fire and carrying them to safety have emerged on the internet.

The blaze broke out at a home in Santa Rosa de Temuco, Chile, on Thursday after a car bomb went off.

The mother dog - a German Shepherd mix called Amanda - risked her life to pick up the puppies in her mouth and carried them from the burning house to the safety of the fire truck.

29. Animals

are so much smarter and caring than humans. Most humans make the world a worse place in which to live.

Just look at the environment as one example.

19. agreed. huffpost has a story about a tiny

kitten found and given to a sweet peke looking female dog who took over its care right away. the kitten nursed on her for three days before the dog lactated. That now is one ginormously fat kitteh.

Dogs are miracles given to us to brighten our lives. Thank you for this lovely, lovely story.

17. What a touching story! And such a wonderful doggie mommie!

She is so beautiful, as are her pups! Dogs are the most amazing creatures to me! They are so loving, loyal and I think, more compassionate and kind than we are. I want one more than anything in the world, but I need to be in a better position to provide an ideal home for one.

I hope Amanda and her sweet pups find a good, loving home! They break my heart.
