A Neapolitan Mastiff named Shadow is making international headlines after giving birth to a litter of 21 puppies, which broke the Australian record of 19.
According to Animal Emergency Service, she had an emergency caesarian section on April 20.
Once they examined her, they realized she was carrying more puppies and immediately got her into surgery. It took a team of 10 vets and nurses to assist in the removal of the other 18 puppies.
Only 18 from the litter of 21 have survived. Shadow is now recovering at home with her owners and pups. We are sending her good vibes and prayers on a speedy recovery.
