During a serene moment on the Blackstone River in Massachusetts, a remarkable event unfolded for a group of kayakers.
Initially spotting a bag of potatoes drifting in the water, the kayakers were intrigued when they heard noises emanating from the sack.
What they stumbled upon inside the sack sparked astonishment and urgency, prompting a subsequent police inquiry.
As they noticed movement from the tightly sealed sack, they fished it out of the river, revealing an unbelievable find.
Contained within were six newborn puppies, all miraculously alive. The kayakers swiftly rescued the pups and promptly alerted the authorities, as per CBS reports.
