Amazingly, the mother brought her last pup to the very same vets in Istanbul, Turkey, that its sibling was already being treated.
Footage shows the exhausted mum trotting through the rain to deliver her struggling pup to the surgery - where she seems to know it will be helped.
The mum drops her baby off right by the door where it is soon noticed by a vet on duty who comes out to investigate.
It is quickly realised the pup is horribly sick and suffering from hypothermia, and it is rushed inside for urgent treatment.

Inside, the vets waste no time in administering injections to the puppy and blow-drying 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.
Veterinarian Baturalp Oghan revealed that all but one of the rest of the young litter had tragically perished.
Vets simply named the heroic dog "Mom".

The vet staff also all hope to find a loving home for the canine family once they fully recover from the ordeal.
