Dog protected abandoned newborn, doctors say

cnn.com — A dog sheltered a newborn baby abandoned by its 14-year-old mother in a field until the boy was rescued, a doctor said Friday. A resident of a rural area outside La Plata called police late Wednesday night to say that he had heard the baby crying in a field behind his house. The man found the infant lying beside the dog and its six newborn puppies.
