Smooth haired Dachshunds - 8 Dachshund puppies born 40 days ago. Sally, their mother, was too weak to feed the large litter and their owner, retired farmer Ralph Heslop of Wetheral, Cumberland, was advised to destroy them when he coudn't find a foster mother. However, with patience and devotion, he fed the pups with a teaspoon every two hours and they survived. 固opFoto
