Looking at their dog’s bulging stomach, Natasha and Alicia had no idea how many puppies to expect. However, nothing could have prepared them for what would happen during the delivery. Indeed, after the pooch gave birth to her ninth pup – quite the feat in itself – the vet gave them an even bigger surprise.

Natasha White and Alicia Copping live in the city of Coventry in the U.K. White works as a veterinary nurse looking after animals; Copping, on the other hand, is a police officer.

However, the pair share an interesting pastime: they are both Kennel Club-approved dog breeders. White also helps out at an organization that breeds guide dogs for the blind.
