Starving Husky Was Clinging To Her Puppy When Rescued From Side Of Highway

Vacationers were hurrying home from their holidays and no one took any notice of a mother dog and her daughter clinging to life on the side of a highway. That was until Marti and Tsetso noticed them.

The kind-hearted strangers noticed the dogs on the roadway in Bulgaria and stopped to help them.
