Just like humans, most dogs would do anything to protect their kids. Such is the case with Rainbow, the homeless Pit Bull. According to a story in The Dodo, after giving birth, a major storm swept through California and threatened the lives of her young.

But Rainbow and her pups persevered. She took her litter into nearby bushes and gave them shelter for as long as she could.

Rescue foundation Hope For Paws was informed of the situation and set out to find them.

“This is a crazy, crazy situation,” Eldad Hagar, founder of Hope for Paws, said.

According to The Dodo, locals had been trying to rescue Rainbow for months but she was stubborn, running away from help. The storm proved too much for her however and she finally accepted the assistance.

Rainbow kissed her babies as the rescuers took them all out of the bushes.

Rainbow is truly a strong mother, and a reminder that we should all do anything we can to help our loved ones.
