A brave mother dog saved all nine of her puppies from a raging forest fire near Valparaíso, Chile this week.
The hero mom was unable to move the litter away from danger, so she dug a hole under a metal container and hid them from harm, Telemundo reports.
Firefighters on-scene to combat the blaze were able to rescue the dogs from their hiding spot and reunite them with their mother, whom workers found sheltering in a nearby building.
Footage from the local station shows the pups being pulled out of their hole, dirty and scared but unhurt.

Locals have rallied around the canine family, donating money and temporary housing as they continue to recover. They have renamed the dog "Negrita" meaning "Blackie" or "Sooty," and locals are already clamoring to adopt her and the puppies.
