  African Wild Dog Pups Reply Contact Our Zoo just had new additions, sadly the mother passed shortly after giving birth.  Check out the story here: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aiO05gzN74c&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aiO05gzN74c&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> I hope this works... This is the story: One of our African Painted Dogs gave birth last week, but died shortly after delivery. Things looked bleak for the nine pups until we found a Humane Society shelter dog named "Honey," who had just finished weaning her own litter. Last week, she met our Painted Dog puppies, and within an hour let them feed fro...m her. Since then, she's been letting them nurse regularly, even making sure each gets enough milk. Check local TV and newspapers for more...
