The doctors of Tampa International Airport’s rescue team got an emergency call: there is emergency labor right at gate F80.
The nurses who came on the scene were not surprised; neonates were born one after the other, and everyone had a lot of work to do. Oh, it’s a girl! Third, fifth, and eventually, ninth.
Ellie, a 2-year-old female Labrador who was due to give birth to pups already at home in Philadelphia, was the primary character of the evening.
At least, that’s what the calculations revealed, but the babies insisted on being born right before boarding the plane, which the owner, Diane Van Atter, now sees as a good sign because giving birth on board would be considerably more difficult.
The doctors from the rescue agency responded fast and insured the dog in labor at the Tampa airport.
Father, a dog named Nugget, did not abandon the newly-created mom at this time.
He is older than Ellie, who is still in school, and the two of them work together to help their owner who has restricted mobility travel.
Per the lady, she was aware of the dog’s pregnancy but did not expect the airport’s noise and bustle to make her so scared that labor would begin.
Before security finished the job, some people even skipped their flights to get selfies with their babies.
