I just read this, and thought you might like to hear about it. God works in marvelous ways, but this one is most touching.
A dog sheltered a newborn baby abandoned by its 14-year-old mother in a field in rural Argentina until the boy was rescued, a doctor said Friday.
The abandoned infant was found in a field with this dog and her newborn puppies.
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 went outside and found the infant lying beside the dog and its six newborn puppies, said Daniel Salcedo, chief of police of the Province of Buenos Aires.

Wow, I wonder what the mother had against orphanages.
She was 14, a child herself. Probably alone and scared in her predicament, she made a terrible choice. May God help both of these children.
Animals have amazing instincts. They just know! Great story.
