No one's sure exactly how it happened and we'll may never be. But a dog is being hailed a hero around the world after an unbelievable incident that came to light last Thursday.
It started when a desperate 14-year-old mother decided to abandon her newborn infant in the city of La Plata, Argentina, about 60 kilometres south of Buenos Aires.
Several hours later, the 8 pound 13 ounce, naked baby girl was found with a dog named China (above) and her puppies, in the back yard of their owner's home. It was not known whether the young mother had placed her baby with the puppies, or whether China had found the infant and brought her there.
Either way, China and her puppies saved the infant from the almost freezing temperatures of the night; and she had only minor bruises when found the next morning.
Appropriately, China is being treated as a hero.
