Sometimes, they go so far above and beyond the call of duty, even news stations have to react.

That’s what happened in South America, where a junkyard dog named Lilica has been making headlines…all because of her nightly trek.

Lilica’s owner dumped her outside a junkyard in São Carlos, Brazil but luckily for the scared and abandoned canine, the junkyard owner took her in.

Lilica immediately took to the owner and his wife and children; they quickly became her new family and she loved them to pieces.

On top of which, the friendly pooch got a chance to meet all the junkyard customers, too, so she got to be sociable all day long.

Heck, Lilica even befriended other animals, like the chickens and cats also living around the junkyard. It was like one big party!

Then one day, Lilica became pregnant. This was a great thing for her but for the junkyard owner, the costs were adding up…

And it just didn’t help matters when Lilica gave birth to a big litter of 8 healthy puppies. How could the owner care for them all? He had a family too, after all.

Well, it was as if the new canine mother knew everyone, including her puppies, needed her help.

She started to make a nightly four-mile trek that nobody could quite figure out (at first). But she always managed to return with something special.

It was so incredible that it made the local news, and when you see the story unfold, you’ll be cheering Lilica on!

Can a dog REALLY do this? How did she even know to try?

Well, perhaps we could just say that maternal instincts are incredible, and such genius dogs continue to amaze the world!
