A mother has shared the inspirational moment she breastfed her baby while rescuing a puppy from beneath a car.

Sterling Corbin, 30, from Guam, Western Pacific, had been trying to catch rescue dog, Polly, who had escaped under a vehicle, when her ten-month-old child, Keanu, started to cry for food.

Insistent on capturing the puppy and returning her home, the stay-at-home mother decided to multi-task and breastfeed her son while continuing with her animal rescue.

Sterling took to Facebook to share the inspirational moment, with other mothers praising her for showing the reality of parenthood.

Sterling said: 'My friend's dog was at a sitter's house and she escaped - she had been out for hours and everyone was looking for her.

'After I had spent an hour searching, I found her under the car on a stranger's driveway, so ducked down to tried to grab the dog.

'Whilst trying to coax the dog out, my son started to cry and I knew that he needed feeding, but I didn't want to let the dog go.

'So, in true mother style, I decided to breastfeed my son whilst still rescuing the dog.

'By the end of it, my son was full, the dog was returned to her owner and I got a vegan cheesecake - so everyone won.'

Despite the animal advocate's want to rescue this dog, she admits that there were times when she was going to let the dog go and privately breastfeed her child.

She said: 'At first I felt quite silly and thought I could have just let go and gone and sat in my car and breastfed Keanu there.'

'But I had a big support network around me who made sure I didn't feel ridiculous for nursing and trying to catch this dog in a stranger's driveway.

'I was afraid that if I let go of the dog we wouldn't catch her again, and there was a storm rolling in.

'So when I knew my son was hungry - it was either let him keep screaming, or feed a hungry baby.

'It just sums up the life of an every day mother - you're always having to think on your feet and do what is best for your child.'
