One veterinary technician quickly noticed the near-dead puppy before bringing it inside for urgent treatment on Monday in the Istanbul Province of Beylikduzu.
The mother dog is captured following closely behind the medic who urgently carries the limp pup through the clinic.
In the treatment room, the vet technicians don't waste their time as they immediately administer injections to the puppy and blow dry its soaking-wet fur.
Medics found the pup to have a dangerously low heart rate and had to immediately place the little pooch in intensive care, meaning the mother dog had carried her baby in just in time.

Animal lovers had even brought in one surviving puppy to the clinic, unaware there was another close by in near-fatal condition.
