Frightening Moment Owner Stops Mama Dog From Eating Pup After Giving Birth
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A dog owner stepped in to save a puppy from birth after she spotted a terrifying moment of the mother attempting to eat her baby. Ciara, who is known on TikTok as @notbetter_justdifferent, told Newsweek that her dogs mated in January by accident. She admitted that she "irresponsibly" thought she could keep them apart during heat, but learned from that mistake. This ultimately led to her Shih-poo, a mix between a Shih Tzu and a toy poodle, becoming pregnant. Along with the pregnancy came an immediate scare when the mother, Dutchess, attempted to eat one of her puppies shortly after giving birth. Ciara captured the incident and posted it to TikTok on May 6. She said she never expected Dutchess to eat the puppies, or knew it was possible, but her senses kicked in as she jumped in to save the puppy. At first, Ciara thought the dog was trying to lick the puppy clean, but panic set in. She held Dutchess's mouth open and tried pulling the pup from her mouth. When that wasn't enough, she stuck her finger down her throat. "I prayed she let it go because, you may not be able to see in the video, but she was actively trying to swallow everything, as I'm trying to get it out as well as not hurt the puppy," Ciara said. Part of the caption reads: "I don't care how much your research, you are never prepared to do stuff like this."

The mothers might not recognize their puppies as their own, or perhaps they are doing a "mercy killing" if they know a pup is not strong enough to survive. This could also happen as an accident while the mother is cleaning their young and trying to eat the placenta. Ciara said this was the only puppy the mother tried doing this to, which the veterinarian explained was expected, as it was the runt of the litter. While the puppy survived this incident, the mama dog kept trying to eat or kick it out of the pen. Then, unfortunately, about a week later, the mother dog sat on the pup, and the little one died. As for the other puppies, Ciara said they're eight weeks old now and "thriving." Dutchess has been a good mother to them, stepping up and making sure they were taken care of, fed and warm. Although, she always left them at night to sleep with Ciara in bed. Viewers React The TikTok video amassed over 5.1 million views and 172,100 likes as of Sunday. The clip left many people speechless. "Well, thanks for traumatizing me," one viewer wrote. Another added: "Whew! I would've panicked too, you handled it so well." A third person said: "I'd be so mad at her."

Prince Harry Suffers a Major Life Setback
Prince Harry suffered a major setback in one of his legal proceedings on May 2 after a judge dismissed his appeal to regain state-funded security from the United Kingdom. The Duke of Sussex, 40, has been fighting to regain the security detail for him and his family after he and Meghan Markle, 43, stepped back from their royal duties and moved to the United States back in 2020. According to the verdict reported byPEOPLE, a judge called the decision not to restore the Duke and Dutchess of Sussex's security detail "understandable and perhaps predictable" and explained that "The Duke was, in effect, stepping in and out of the cohort of protection provided by RAVEC [the government's Royal and VIP Executive Committee]. Outside the U.K., he was outside the cohort, but when in the U.K., his security would be considered as appropriate depending on the circumstances." "Even if there had been a risk analysis from the Risk Management Board, it would very likely have only confirmed the threat, vulnerability and impact levels which the Duke of Sussex had faced when earlier risk analyses were undertaken," the judge continued. "But it would have had nothing to say on the critical features of the changed situation, namely the need for protective security on future uncertain visits and the government's appetite for risk." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Prince Harry initially lost his first case against the RAVEC back in February 2024, so the latest loss is a setback for him and his family. The Duke of Sussex has been fighting in court since early April and his lawyers said that he and the Dutchess "felt forced to step back from the role of full time official working members of the royal family as they considered they were not being protected by the institution." Prince Harry previously told PEOPLE this case was the one that "has always mattered the most," referencing his other legal battles against the British tabloids.
