Few sights are as universally heartwarming as a mother with her newborns, whether human or animal. A recent Instagram video has captured such a touching moment, with Eva, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mom dog, softly dozing off as she nurtures her newborn puppies.
Video shows Staffy falling asleep while feeding her puppies
In the Instagram video, a Staffy mom dog named Eva is seen snuggling with her litter of six-day-old red and white pied puppies. The scene is both endearing and serene as Eva — in a moment of exhaustion — starts to doze off while her puppies continue to feed. Her sleepy demeanor has resonated with viewers, who can’t help but be moved by the peaceful image of a mother dog enveloped in the duties of care.
With over 30K likes and 350 comments, the video has generated a wave of reactions from Instagram users. “Aww she’s a fab mummy and her babies are doing so well,” commented one viewer. “How do you get anything done?!! They are sweetness overload. I would just sit and
watch them all day,” said another. “This is pure love right here,” wrote another.
Staffordshire Bull Terriers — lovingly known as Staffies — are known for their affectionate and loyal nature. They typically give birth to a litter of five to seven puppies at a time. These little ones depend on their mother’s milk for nourishment. Puppy feeding usually continues until they are about eight weeks old, at which point they gradually transition to solid food. Eva’s nurturing moment with her puppies reflects the strong maternal instincts that are characteristic of this breed.
Apart from their endearing nature, Staffordshire Bull Terriers are recognized for their muscular build and playful disposition. While they may look tough, they are famously gentle with children and other animals, making them excellent family pets. The popularity of the breed can be also attributed to their intelligence, eagerness to please, and their loving temperament, all of which are evident in the tender scene shared in the viral video.
