Silver Puppy Raised Eyebrows, Then The Truth Got Way Weirder
Twelve Puppies, One Stillborn
Lola labored through the afternoon beneath the warm clinic lights, her body working steadily as the room adjusted around her. Hands stepped in when they were needed, towels were swapped out without comment, and someone kept counting breaths under their voice. Four puppies turned into six, then eight, and the count continued to rise.
By the end, 12 puppies lay breathing in a loose cluster, with color spread across the towels in uneven patches. Black, yellow, chocolate, and one pale silver pup lay among them. That puppy drew attention without anyone needing to say why. Then the movement stopped. One small body lay still, and Dr. Greene stepped closer as the room quieted.
