MYFOXNY.COM - Talk about puppy love.
Dixie the dog recently gave birth to 20, yes 20, puppies in Hamilton County, Fla. Her human family is excited about the new additions but they are ready for a ton of work.
Dixie's owner, Deana Stewart, said it's been exhausting. "It's been around the clock feedings. It's, you know because she has so many, she can't do it on her own, so we're having to bottle feed and just to make sure they're all rotated and everything's fine with that," she said.
The large litter fell short of the world's record, which is 24.
