Seven puppies born to dog 'deckhand' on whale-watching boat, California cops say
Briefly

Capt. Joe Nazar realized one of his dogs was about to give birth just as they were departing. He called police for assistance, and Officer Sean Padilla came aboard to help with the delivery, which took about four hours. Sam, the German Shepherd, successfully gave birth to seven puppies with Bear, another German Shepherd who works as a deckhand on the whale-watching boat. This unique delivery process showcases the bond between the animals and their roles on the vessel.
Bear, who works as a 'deckhand', has fully embraced life at sea. He assists in pulling in wet lines and boosts morale for the crew with his playful spirit. The presence of these dogs has not only enhanced the overall experience of the tours but also attracted significant social media attention, with millions of views on their accompanying Instagram and TikTok accounts, highlighting the joy and uniqueness they bring to the whale-watching community.
