Headline: Heroic dog mum saves her adorable puppies from hammer attack
Caption: Heroic dog mum saves her adorable puppies from hammer attack. Seven adorable puppies have been rescued alongside their heroic mother after she was hit with a hammer while trying to protect her young. Roxy was found by South Yorkshire Police with a head wound at a property in the Doncaster area after her owner admitted hitting her with a hammer. The pups - all Bulldog-cross types and aged about five weeks-old - have been named Blue, Duke, Edward, Maria, Melody, Piper and Ruset. Daniel Cartwright, Branch Manager, said: “When they first arrived Roxy was in much need of some reassurance and care.” “She had a nasty wound to her head where her previous owner had beaten her while she was guarding her pups.” It is hoped the puppies will soon be able to go to foster-to-adopt homes, while it may take a little longer for Roxy, as she needs to recover from the head injury.
