Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, including dog mamas! Mother’s Day in 2022 falls on May 8th and serves as a time to celebrate all types of moms. Whether she’s a human or a doggy mom, all moms deserve to be honored on this special day.
Mama dogs have an important role in making sure their puppies get all the love they need and learn the necessary skills to grow up into proper, socialized dogs.
Here are ten videos of mama dogs and their puppies that show how truly special their relationships and bonds are.
1. Puppy Pile With Mom
This Golden Retriever mom has definitely got her paws full. She and her nine puppies are playing in the snow, but it seems the puppies are more interested in their mama than the actual snow, itself.
They all keep ganging up on mom, playfully attacking her as they expect her to play with them. The result is a puppy pile up, of course. But really, would you mind being attacked by nine Golden Retriever puppies?
2. Mom Watches Over Puppies
This mom is keeping a watchful eye over her puppies. It’s their first time playing outside, so mom wants to be extra careful.
As the puppies wrestle with each other, mom is there to make sure everything runs smoothly, as moms do. She has to make sure her puppies behave themselves. It’s just another day in the life of a doggy mom.
3. Puppy Uses Mom’s Ear As Blanket
This puppy is cold, so obviously the solution to her problem is to use her mom’s ear as a blanket. The pup is going to grow up to be one smart dog because she’s already figured out a creative way to get warm.
It’s adorable how the mother doesn’t move and lets her puppy warm up. Moms will do anything to make sure their puppies are happy and comfortable.
4. Puppy Learns To Go Downstairs
Like many puppies, this little guy is afraid to go down the stairs. It can be a frightening experience for little puppies, but thankfully his mom is nearby ready to help.
It’s a big step in his life — literally — but it’s an important skill all dogs need to learn. Watch as this mom shows her puppy how it’s done. She even sits at the bottom of the steps, eventually coaxing her pup down the stairs.
5. Reunited And It Feels So Good
Bess used to live life as a stray, which can be tough for a mama expecting twelve puppies. Luckily, some caring humans picked her up and got her the care she needed. Even after giving birth, Bess needed a team of people helping her out with her babies. It takes a village!
With her humans’ help, this mama dog raised her puppies until they could go to their own forever homes. But that wasn’t their final goodbye. All of Bess’s puppies met up on their birthday to see mom again, and she was so happy! This video is sure to bring tears to your eyes!

7. Mom Teaches Puppies To Play
An important part of any dog’s growing up is learning how to play. That’s why mom is there to make sure her pups learn the skills they need in order to know how to play correctly and safely.
Play time is essential to growth in dogs and a natural trait, and mom is there to teach them. It’s adorable how the mom will play and then her puppies imitate her. Practice makes perfect!
8. Mom Breaks Up Fight
Puppies can’t get along all the time; they’re bound to have the occasional fight. But that’s why mom is there.
