The joy that a dog can bring to a human is sometimes really hard to describe in words. However, in order to get there, it is often necessary to go through the most difficult moments.
Experienced rescuer, Caitlin Evers, knows this best. She is the founder of Caitie’s Foster Fam, a rescue organization located in Houston, Texas. During the years of her work, she has rescued numerous animals and fostered more than 280 dogs.
That’s why she didn’t hesitate to get down to work one day when she received a call from the shop owner about a stray who was forced to give birth on the street during heavy rain.
However, even she was shocked and heartbroken when she saw this dog’s condition.

According to the posted by, this Basset Hound, later named Bentley, gave birth over one weekend in front of the shop, while the employees found them on a Monday morning.
In that same video, Caitlin also wrote that there were many storms in Houston, Texas over that weekend, so the mama dog and her newborn puppies were in very bad condition. This woman was truly heartbroken as soon as she saw them.
When she came to the shop, there were eight puppies with their mama. However, in another Caitlin explained that Bentley had eleven babies but that they were no longer alive when the employees found them because of the harsh conditions they were in.
This made Caitlin’s heart cry, but it also motivated her to do everything to help this Basset Hound family. She immediately took them one by one in her arms, gently put them in the car, and drove them home.
After she gave the mama and her babies an immediate bath because of a severe case of fleas, they could finally relax in a clean and warm bed. Watching them sleep peacefully in warm blankets after everything they’d been through was a real balm for Caitlin’s soul.
Sadly, in the days that followed, one puppy crossed the rainbow bridge, and that made Caitlin very sad. However, that’s why this big-hearted woman did everything to ensure a better future for the rest of the litter, which is why they thrived more and more every day.
After several days, the life of this Basset Hound family became a true blessing as the sun finally rose after dark clouds and heavy rain.
Bentley, as well as her babies Ford, Lincoln, Mustang, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, and Rover, as Caitlin named them, were all heading toward a better future.
Not that they didn’t deserve it after everything they’ve been through.
