Bachelor Party groomsmen cooking bacon in cabin... dog shows up at the door

[Liberal_in_LA]

'We were cooking bacon with the door open. The next thing you know, there’s this dog sitting right at the front door.
'She wouldn’t come inside but she sat right there.
'After we gave her a bunch of food and water she started producing milk again. So we figured if she’s making milk, her pups can’t be that old,' he said.



The group of eight men followed her into the woodland to a patch in the ground she was closely guarding, he said.
There, they found her seven puppies in a hole.
The group washed the dogs of fleas and dirt and took them back to the cabin to look after them.
Their beer fund was put towards dog food by the end of the trip, Craddock added.
Now all of the dogs live with the men in a five-mile radius.


She led them to her litter in the woods and the men took them in, caring for them in their cabin and dedicating their beer fund to dog food


Doug Craddock, the groom's father, adopted the mother and named her Annie


The eight men divided the puppies and their mother up between them to take back to Michigan. One of them, Trevor Jennings, is seen holding his new pet, right. Jake Rowe with his dog, Knox

3. lesson. don't cook bacon in the woods

[csziggy]

9. Or do cook bacon in the woods if you want to rescue dogs! nt

[Shrike47]

32. Or bears. Grown up bears. Big grown up bears.

And remember, keep the car keys on you at all times. You may need to evacuate in a hurry.

[csziggy]

33. True - I forgot about the bears!

Should I wear bells and use bear repellent while cooking my bacon?

[LiberalLovinLug]

47. Sure

At least they'll be able to track the bear with that bell ringing in his stomach

68. CANADA!!!

4. Glad the did not choose Las Vegas.

[Eleanors38]

5. Taking care of our own.

[Hortensis]

6. Awww. Best bachelor trip for any of them, I bet.

Our daughter's puppy is chewing the edges and center out of their mud room rug, but they're mostly letting her when she's in there because she seems to understand the living and family rooms are big no-nos. Since she's discovered what fun pillows are to tear apart, though, they can't put one in the dog carrier she spends the night in.

[PunksMom]

7. This just warms my heart. There are good things in this world:)

[barbtries]

8. someone threw that dog away.

i don't get that. i'm so happy that they all thrived

[tblue37]

30. Yep--I bet the original owner ditched her when she became pregnant. She was too trusting of the men

to be a dog who had never been in the company of men before.

I'm just glad she had the courage to ask them for food and to let them see where she hid her babies.

[DesertRat]

10. What a beautiful story!

Thank you for posting!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[Skittles]

[3catwoman3]

35. Especially really, really small...

...puppies or kittens.

[NBachers]

49. I never got more attention from women than when I was carrying my little baby daughter around.

[Skittles]

52. that will do it too

[FailureToCommunicate]

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

27. Awesome!

Well done.

[Neema]

28. The line in the article about how all the puppies had big fat bellies so mama literally gave

everything she had to them. Crying here. So love this story.

[tblue37]

29. How sweet. nt

[nolabear]

31. Gee, most guys just get a key ring or money clip or something.

This is such a sweet story. They'll have this bond always. And, puppies!

[milestogo]

34. But did they share their bacon?

[smirkymonkey]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Love!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😄

[baldguy]

41. Notice the standard cadre of authoritarian dog haters don't show up for the "feel good" dog threads?

Thank you for this.

[mdbl]

44. we have dog haters?

Never heard them here. Don't know how someone can hate dogs anyway.

[baldguy]

45. Sad but true.

[roamer65]

42. Awwww...

Even though I am a cat person, I love to hear about animal rescues. Glad momma found a home and her pups did as well.

These guys are top notch.

[lonestarnot]

46. All involved cutie patooties!

[NBachers]

48. Doug and Annie look like they were made to be together.

But . . . I think it's time to get Annie fixed. There's still plenty of heart-warming to go around for mama and her first litter.

[calimary]

50. WUNNNNNNderful!

Wow, a genuine feel-good story during this particularly icky campaign season. Thanks for posting this, Liberal_in_LA!

We all need happy endings!

[Lifelong Protester]

51. Great story!

And I almost passed it up. Thank you!

[ailsagirl]

53. Wonderful post!!!

[Granny M]

54. Best bachelor party ever. nt

[Sophiegirl]

56. Oh for crying out loud

I hate weeping first thing in the morning!!!

Who's a buncha good men?

[joeybee12]

58. what a great story. knr

[blueseas]

59. Awww we need more people like these guys

in our world.

[OregonBlue]

60. What nice guys and what a good mom. The pictures from the dailymail show how very

well fed the pups were to begin with. What a fantastic mom that she was managing to care for all of them in the middle of the woods on her own. I love stories like this. Renews my faith in my fellow humans.

[Denzil_DC]

61. Form an orderly queue

to snap up the movie rights ...

[robbob]

69. This is totally ripped off from Game of Thrones!

We will have to follow this group as they head off on their many and varied adventures to save the world! Winter is coming; these guys got dogs! Hope the dogs fare better then the ones in GoT!

[Equinox Moon]

62. TY for your compassion

Not to put a downer on a heart-warming happy ending, but, the mother dog had been abandoned in the first place for this to have happened. That was cruel.

[CrispyQ]

63. Puppies!

What a great story!!

[geardaddy]

64. K & R

Talk about party favors! Good for them!

[colorado_ufo]

65. Heroes appear in many ways.

Bachelor party? Some gal is getting a fine man for a husband!

Great story!

[niyad]

67. thank you so much for posting this. we need all the good news/feel good stories we can get!!

I am so glad these beautiful little beings found their forever homes.

and, to the asshole who dumped that beautiful mama, may the Lady of the Beasts deal with you.
