She went through so much in such a short amount of time...but now she's thriving! We spoke with Ilima, Nala's mom, about how this huge dog just needed someone to support her through the toughest times. And now she spends her days relaxing and watching her novelas!

00:00She was going to give birth any minute.
00:02Her breathing was super labored.
00:05She seemed really uncomfortable.
00:06If you don't put a house, the dogs will die in the cold.
00:22When she arrived at my house, she would not leave the bed.
00:27I'm going to go make you some food and get some water.
00:31I literally had to physically drag the entire pen outside of my garage to go use the bathroom.
00:39Come on, sweetie.
00:39Come on, Nala.
00:41I know you got to pee.
00:42Come on, baby.
00:45We had to lure her out with some food.
00:48But now she's seeing the light of day.
00:52Good morning.
00:56How's your belly doing?
00:58Oh, mama.
01:00Oh, mama.
01:02Okay, I'm going to go get your food.
01:05Just about a little over a week, she came over to me on the couch and just put her head
01:10on
01:10my lap and was kind of looking at me as a source of comfort.
01:14And so that was when I was like, this is my girl.
01:16She ended up giving birth to 10 babies, unfortunately.
01:21We slowly started losing the puppies.
01:24Because Nala was so malnourished, they just didn't really have a good chance of surviving
01:29once they were born.
01:34We ended up really focusing on her one strong puppy.
01:39Good job, mama.
01:41Yeah.
01:44His name was Mufasa, and my goodness, he was a little firecracker.
01:52She was an amazing mom.
01:54Mufasa was a handful, you know, and I think that after a while she was just like, you know
02:00what, you're good.
02:01I know you're going to make it.
02:03I'm going to start watching my novellas.
02:07That was when Nala did discover the TV.
02:11We have literally shown her big screen TV.
02:17She's had the iPad.
02:20She's had the iPhone.
02:26I feel like a mom because I'm like, you're too close to the TV.
02:29You're going to ruin your eyes.
02:33Then she kind of started figuring out how to change things.
02:37I'm not even joking.
02:37She would like go up to it and touch it with her nose and it would skip to the next
02:42video.
02:46So if there was a video she didn't like, she would just keep going like that.
02:51It was great.
02:53We were able to find the most amazing, perfect family for Mufasa.
02:59Good morning, you guys.
03:03She realized like, okay, I can live this hot mom summer now.
03:07Then she was totally fine after that.
03:12Good girl, Nala.
03:13Good girl.
03:20That's when I was like, you're with the family you belong with.
03:24She honestly has totally leveled out the energy of my pack.
03:31She's like the older, calm mama that looks out for everybody.
03:38She fit in so perfectly that I couldn't imagine her in any other home.
03:43She belonged with us.
03:44Now she gets to live out the rest of her life in paradise.
