Stray dog takes refuge in a Christmas nativity scene to give birth to seven beautiful puppies

 This street dog, like Mary when Jesus was born, gave birth to seven puppies in a barnacle full of straw.

In a simple tent on the main plaza of Palenque, Mexico, was a wonderful Nativity scene on display. This one has the typical selection of holiday figurines posing in serene quiet, but there's a new element that's unexpected: a pregnant stray dog.

According to reports, the cute puppy used the Christmas nativity scene as a safe haven since it felt protected there. If necessary, she could provide lighting and take a break from the frigid streets. In the straw, she was curled up when local journalist Eric Guzmán discovered this.

Eric turned his head to the side and counted seven puppies that the dog had just given birth to. For a safe and suitable environment to give birth, the dog seems to have decided that Christmas was her only option.

He was surprised and relieved to find that his pups were in a secure home, Eric told The Dodo. "Never were they cold or damp," he claimed. It should be mentioned that while Palenque is usually hot all year round, it begins to become cold around December, and dogs are commonly observed seeking shelter from the weather.

Numerous residents of Palenque have visited the manger to see the dog and her puppies ever since Eric first began spreading the word about them. Some of them even brought food and refreshments. Even the local authorities got involved and consented to let the family of dogs to stay for however long they required.

In addition to allusions to holiness, Dejando Huellitas SOS Palenque's animal lovers have stepped up to secure the dogs' care both now and in the future and have begun seeking for homes for them to reside in.

The puppies' birth inside the Christmas manger is not a miracle in Eric's eyes, but he does think it will have a lasting effect. As citizens, the journalist anticipated that "we will be more aware of stray dogs and would adopt them rather than buy them." Regardless of their origins, he argued, we should love them.
