Puppy delivered from fatal prognosis

Judith Erikson

I have a champion Vizsla show dog, who is my loyal companion. Last winter I bred her and joyously awaited the arrival of the litter in nine weeks.

It is common amongst dog breeders to have the mother X-rayed seven to ten days before the delivery date, and this time I felt led to do so. After the X-ray was taken, the veterinarian told me there were five well-developed puppies, but also a sixth that was mainly a head—the body was extremely underdeveloped. She predicted this puppy would be born dead. Immediately I thought, “No! God did not make an underdeveloped anything, and I do not have to accept this verdict.”
