A mother's love can seemingly overcome any obstacle.
Dogs feel an intense connection with their babies, even if they are both going through sickness and strife.
Just like this sweet mama dog, pit bulls in particular are very maternal, they can undergo so many hardships and still be outstanding little mothers.
This was the case for poor Billie Jean, who faced more hardships in a few short weeks than any dog should ever have to endure.
After being brought to DeKalb County Animal Services, she suffered through several sicknesses and ailments from past neglect, all while being pregnant with 8 puppies!
And while all of the pit bull family didn't make it to their loving foster home alive, that didn't stop her from loving the pups she had at the end of the process.
She even welcomed a puppy from another litter into her own fuzzy family — proving that motherhood knows no physical barriers.

Poor Billie Jean was given to the DeKalb County Animal Services in a truly terrible condition.
On top of bruises, scars, heartworms, and kennel cough, the poor pit bull was also pregnant.
After Billie Jean gave birth to her babies, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC began to make the arrangements to take the family in.
With the puppies born very sickly, and the mama suffering through all her ailments, the dogs desperately needed more care.
Then Billie Jean caught pneumonia, which delayed the rescuing process and required her to be separated from her puppies for a few weeks.
By the time she was better and the family was ready to be fostered, only three of the babies were still alive.
Despite all of the struggle, sickness, and loss, Billie Jean diligently and lovingly began to care for her babies, named Kate, Phelps, and Simone.
"Her darling spirit of forgiveness and love shined through from the moment that I met her," explained their foster mom Kristin Murphy Dubnoff.
Unfortunately, little Kate passed shortly after arriving to the home and it seemed that Billie Jean would be left with only two puppies.
But then Rescue Dogs Rock reached out to Dubnoff with another furry baby in need of fostering.
A tiny 2-week-old beagle was in desperate need of a mother.
Dubnoff took her in immediately, hoping that the pit bull family would accept her.
Fortunately, Billie Jean was happy to be the beagle baby's new mother.
Although she looks different than her siblings, the beagle still gets love and attention like she's part of the litter.
All the puppies are currently healthy and happy in their foster home.
And once they are old enough, they'll have new homes with the loving families who have agreed to adopt them.
Loving mama Billie Jean, however, is still waiting for her forever home and would be a happy addition to any dog-loving family.
