The video shows a heartbreaking incident in which a mourning mother dog stubbornly uncovers her slain puppy. Kookie digs diligently through the densely compacted soil until she finds the male pup and drags it out of its temporary grave by a leg. She licks and nudges the small corpse with all her power in an attempt to revive her darling child.
Kaye de Luna, the owner, adds in the video that Kookie had already lost during her first pregnancy, and she must be sad at the loss of another puppy. Kookie clearly cared about her entire litter, even the ones that did not survive. It’s a genuinely heartbreaking sight to witness.

On May 17, Kookie gave birth to a litter of puppies, however one of the smallest and weakest pups died overnight. Kookie began barking loudly as she realized what had happened, waking everyone in the home. The owners discovered the deceased puppy and buried it in their garden in an unmarked grave without informing Kookie.
When they brought Kookie for a stroll in the garden later, she went directly to the burial. Kaye, the owner, chose to let Kookie grieve in her own manner and cope with the loss of her puppy. The sad video shows Kaye crying as she watches Kookie mourn the loss of her pup.

Kookie initially dug into the earth until she recognized her puppy’s smell, which encouraged her to continue digging. After some time, she was able to extricate the still puppy from its temporary grave by removing enough earth to uncover a part of the corpse.
The mother dog then licked and nudged the puppy with her nose in an attempt to revive it. Kookie halted at the conclusion of the video and turned her attention to Kaye, who was extremely moved by the heartbreaking incident.

When dogs lose their puppies, the popular video shows that they, too, suffer pain and loss. Kookie, like other female dogs, was built to instinctively lick and nudge her puppies. Kookie dug up her deceased puppy for one final attempt at resuscitation because she was going through her own type of closure.
It is widely knowledge that dogs grieve for their people, therefore it is not strange that they would feel the same pain and loss when losing a puppy.
