This sounds straight out of "The Jungle Book": La China, an 8-year-old dog from Argentina, found a baby boy who had been abandoned in a field by his 14-year-old mother, and carried him more than 160 feet to nestle him among her own puppies.
La China's owner heard the baby crying, and called the authorities. The mother came forward shortly after her son was found.
Besides a few bruises - presumably from his journey to join the litter - the baby was unharmed. The temperature can drop to forty degrees at night in this part of Argentina, so locals are hailing La China as a hero.
Maybe they should change the expression "Man's best friend" to "Baby's best friend"!
