A German Shepherd Dog who was abandoned in a park while she was in labor was saved by a Police Officer just in time.
Police Officer Jennifer Bloom was driving by the Newark's Lakeshore Park in California on Sunday when she saw the pregnant dog tied to a bench and in distress.
When she went over to the dog, the dog was already in labor.
"You know we go through training on how to help a woman deliver a baby,” said Officer Bloom. "But we never had to deal with puppies."
Officer Bloom gently loaded the dog into her car and drove to Central Veterinary Hospital. While in the back seat of her vehicle, the dog was actively giving birth.
The German Shepherd ended up delivering nine puppies. Seven survived, but two did not make it. Now named Bristol, the German Shepherd did not have a microchip or tag. If no one comes forward to claim her she, along with her puppies, will be available for adoption soon.
Police are investigating the incident as an animal cruelty case. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call police at 510-578-4237. Information can also be left anonymously on a hotline at 510-578-4000, ext. 500.

♥good triumphs over evil once again♥
I do't understand how a human eing can dcide to abandon a pregnant dog! it's insane, horrible... look ho cute they all are!! Im happyfo thm, and thnks to the nice police officer, he has a great heart
Just in time!
people are so cruel and nasty. I can never wrap my head around anyone hurting an innocent animal.I hope they catch the bastard who did this and throw the book at him!
Beautiful shepherd, looks so much like mine. Resembles a DDR (East German or Check) dog. Markings (sable and brindle on the face) are not common to North American black and tan or red. I'd be looking for a breeder of East German or eastern European shepherds. They might know.
the poor pooch! here's hoping she and her family will find a family as good as officer bloom! she's the best!
What a lovely girl. How sad to have been left like that. When my girlie had her puppies I was tearing open the sacks and handing them over to her to wash. I slept next to the whelping box for a week because if a puppy was in distress momma would come up and get me out of bed to help her. She felt better if I was right there and we all slept better.
My husband and I would like either the mother or a puppy if they are up for adoption....<3 We own one German Shepherd now...female. Love her to pieces.
Give the Police Officer a big raise and lots of hugs for rescuing this darling - hope all of the babies will be adopted by great homes
Yes..My husband and I would love to help out by adopting one. 215 932 5334
A big "thank you" to this police officer. How could anyone do this to this poor animal? I just can't understand it.
Thank God for the police officer who helped and took the dogs to safety...
Some people are angels on earth: officer Bloom thank you for being one.
So cute puppies to have, I really love German Shepherd dog.
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to read stories such as this wherein a police officer has gone above, and beyond the call of duty to d their job with such courage, compassion, and pride.Thank you so very much.
Thank you for caring makes me wonder how many ignored her before you found her.
So glad for this mom and pups .How many like this just suffer and die of 'human' cruelty.Many so-called humans should never ever touch a dog.Dogs are so generous with their love for people....
thank you so much for attending to this lovely dog in need.
Wait a minute! How do we know the dog was really abandoned? What if something bad just happened to the owner and he wasn't able to get the dog free in time? What if the owner was kidnapped? Or killed?
So much cruelty in our world. How can people treat animals so badly? Thank you Officer Bloom for helping this lovely dog.
