Friday Petblogging


A Neapolitan mastiff in Manea, United Kingdom, has given birth to a litter of 24 mastiff puppies.

When Tia grew so large she could barely move, the couple took the dog to the vets, who decided that an immediate caesarean was vital. Two hours later, Tia had given birth to the record 24 puppies.

Four of the puppies were too weak and died but the remaining 20 are thriving.

All but three of the pups are up for sale. They are worth more than $1,800 each.
