A mother's love is fierce regardless of her species. No one proved that
better than Amanda, a dog caught in a house fire in Chile yesterday with her
litter of 10-day-old pups. According to the news publication Soy Chile, as
firefighters battled the blaze, a photographer spotted the protective mother
canine going back and forth from the house, dragging her puppies one by one
and placing them in a firetruck compartment. The pups were taken to a nearby
veterinary clinic, and all but one puppy survived. The photos from the scene
have gone viral, drawing more than 1,000 comments on Reddit and inspiring
countless others by her act of maternal love

What's amazing about this is *how* this mother dog knew to place them in
a firetruck compartment. Wow. Just wow. Animals are a heck of a lot
smarter than most people give them credit for.

I hope the surviving pups are all safe and grow up to be adopted to good
homes.

Yeah, "dumb animal" refers to the lack of human speech, not to any lack
of intelligence!
