“I’ll take care of you” – Terrified Three-Month-Old Puppies Rescued from Storm Drain After Losing Their Mother in a Tragic Hit and Run

This is a touching dog rescue story that will really tug at your heartstrings. Two months ago, three abandoned puppies were rescued from the wilderness where they were living alone and barely surviving. They were separated from their mother when tragedy struck.


Their mother, Gaia, was pregnant when she was dumped on the side of the road. Shortly after that, she was hit by a car that broke her leg before she was able to give birth to the puppies. Gaia, dying and alone, was strong enough to survive through the birth of her puppies.

She gave birth to three babies in a storm drain, the safest place in the area. So then she and the two kind women who weren’t sure how to help the puppies raised them.


In a video made about the experience, Eldad Hagar wrote: ‘I told her I was sorry people did this. I promised her I would save her babies.’

Once he made it back to the puppies, Eldad had a trying time attempting to rescue them. They were afraid and very wary of humans, even though two women had been feeding them all along.

Desperate to lure the puppies out, Eldad placed their deceased mother near their storm drain. He managed to grab the white and tan puppy (later named Sydney).

The puppies were afraid of any humans – and any time that Eldad touched them they whined and called for their mother. As heartbreaking as these scenes are, what Mr. Hagar did was for the best. He rescued from from growing up in a terrible place without a mother and soon they will be with lovng families.

Seeing the puppies begin to trust humans for the very first time is so touching. Even their interactions with a dog toy are nervous, but soon they will begin to relax and realize they are heading towards a better, healthier life.

After hours of using clever strategies and hanging out around storm drains in the desert, Eldad rescued all of the orphaned puppies. They were taken away from the desert and the scene of their mother’s death and are being prepared to be put into loving homes.

Sydney, Mathilda and Gabriella may be orphans but now they can feel the love of a family in a forever home.
