SPAIN -- A video online shows an injured dog leading her rescuers to her puppies.

Caters News reports that the abandoned greyhound, named Vera, was seen wandering around a market in southern Spain. A stranger, Lianne Powell, caught Vera and brought her to see a local veterinarian.

Vera was emaciated and had a broken leg. Upon further examination, the veterinarian, Ellen Sobry, noticed Vera was bleeding from the back end and lactating.

“I thought 'well where are the puppies?'” Sobry told Caters News.

Sobry and Powell decided to go out and search. They put a leash on Vera and went outside, hoping the dog would trust them enough to lead the way. According to Caters News, Vera led the women almost two miles away, to an abandoned car.

With Sobry filming, Powell looked inside the car and found a miraculous surprise.

"There in the back were 10 beautiful, fat little healthy puppies,” Powell told Caters News.

Today, Vera and her puppies are recovering in a safe place. Caters News reports that Sobry is working with a rescue organization to find homes for the dogs once they leave the clinic.
