It all started on a September morning where Michigan groom Mitchel Craddock was spending time in a Tennessee cabin with his groomsmen. He had been frying some bacon when a dog--probably drawn by the smell of food--showed up. It was obvious to him that she had recently given birth.
Craddock and the men began fussing over her, but she refused to go into the cabin.
Craddock told ABC News that she was just a sweetheart. The bride-to-be is one lucky lady to find a man of his caring caliber, and his groomsmen seem to be cut from the same compassionate cloth.
They quickly gave her a name and called her Orphan Annie. She had been so dehydrated that she was not producing milk. But that would change as the men fed her and gave her water to drink. Now to find the puppies.
They soon found her being attentive to a deep hole in the woods not too far from the cabin. She was very protective of that hole, but she allowed one of the men to be lowered head first into it where he found seven dirty little puppies.
