One woman who was riding her bike seven miles into the desert came across a female dog all alone and took her home when something unexpected happened.

"I came home and there was a puppy in there," the woman said in a video posted on social media.

She got the dog home and when she went to go run an errand, she returned home to the dog giving birth to puppies.

Kiss My Paws Rescue is now helping with the litter they are calling a "Thanksgiving Miracle."
