This is What Happens When You Replace Babies With Puppies

From Woman's Day

Last week, we introduced you to Lilica, a pregnant dog who was treated to her own maternity photo shoot by her neighbor Ana Paula Grillo. Just one day later, this proud mama gave birth to five healthy puppies, four boys and one girl.

And as any human mother knows, the only way to top your maternity photos is by setting up a newborn photo shoot with your precious new bundle of joy (bundles of joy?). So it only makes sense that Grillo decided to make Lilica's five adorable puppies the stars of her next project.

While all five cuddly pups have since been adopted, these newborn photos will always be a reminder of the sweet family Lilica brought into the world. Take a look at the photos below and just try to control your heart from turning to mush:

We can only imagine what milestone is next for this doggy model! See the rest of her maternity photos here.
