VIDEO: Mother Dog Surrendered To Shelter Happily Reunited With Her Puppies

NOVATO (CBS13) – If you're having a rough day, just watch this video.

An amazaing reunion between a mother dog and her puppies was captured on video by the Marin Human Society. The shelter says "Cora" – the mother dog – had been surrendered to them on Wednesday.

Vets soon discovered that Cora recently had puppies.

Sniffing around, the team was able to find the person who surrendered the dog and were also able to convince them to surrender the pups.

Without their mother, Marin Humane Society stressed, the puppies  would be in an unsafe situation.

Cameras were rolling for the moment when Cora and her pups were reunited.

Have we got your "awww!" factor of the day! Yesterday, two frightened dogs were surrendered to us. Upon examining the female, we learned she recently had puppies. After some detective work and a lot of convincing, our team was able to get the person who surrendered the dogs to also surrender the puppies, as they still needed their momma and were not in a safe situation. We captured the moment when sad and scared mom got to see her puppies again. Tears of joy all around at this happy reunion.
