German Shepherd Digs at Grave for Puppies

Not everything is as it appears. Recently, a viral photograph was circulating online that appeared to show a German Shepherd digging a hole at a tombstone. It was said that the German Shepherd was digging the hole to be closer to its master who had recently passed away.

Although that story was not true, it doesn’t mean that there wasn’t something spectacular that was going on behind the scenes. As you will see in this series, the German Shepherd had a very good reason for digging a hole and it will touch your heart.

As it turns out, the dog was not digging a hole to be closer to its former owner, it was digging a hole because it was about to have a litter of puppies.
