This is Velma. She's 4 years old, and she lives with her owners in Alabama. As you can see, she recently gave birth to a litter of puppies.

But it was no ordinary litter of pups–how many pups do you see here?

Great Danes usually average around 8 puppies per litter (though the range can vary significantly), but Velma birthed 19 PUPPIES.

Yes, you read that correctly. 19 puppies. The birthing process took nearly a full day to complete.

Only once before has a U.S. Great Dane birthed so many puppies.

Velma was only expected to have 10 puppies, so the litter was a surprise to both mom and her owners! When necessary, the owners helped to feed the pups, because it was a little overwhelming for Velma.

Could you imagine having to care for 19 little ones? It must be exhausting, but she still looks like one happy mom.

Good job mom!
