One-year-old Joey performed the function of the perfect father, taking each puppy from four-year-old Zara and taking care of his babies. Zara didn’t appear thinking about the young puppies in the beginning and left everything to him.

Four from the new arrivals didn’t survive however the remaining seven have been discovered new houses with Ms Patterson’s sons Jonathan and Matthew and thru Yorkshire Coast Dog Save in Scarborough.

Ms Patterson, of North Grimston, near Malton, stated: “We got Joey in May also it should have happened immediately but we didn’t think it could have been possible.

“Zara didn’t get sound advice and that i just began screaming once the young puppies began coming out.

“She shipped them on This summer 11 after which Joey did anything else. Zara wasn’t interested but Joey would clean them up and never let other people near them.
