Michigan Men Adopt Stray Dog, Puppies At Bachelor Party

VICKSBURG, Mich. (WWJ/AP) - A group of men from Michigan have returned from a bachelor party in Tennessee with a stray dog and her litter of puppies in tow.

Groom-to-be Mitchel Craddock and his friends were on a 5-day trip at a cabin in the woods when a stray dog approached their front door. She wouldn't come inside, but wolfed down the food and water the men gave her -- he told MLive.

Craddock says the group eventually noticed she was producing milk. They found her seven puppies in a den down the road from the cabin.

Craddock says the puppies looked like they were 5- to 6-weeks old and were very healthy.

He says there was never a question of whether they would bring the new mom and pups home.

"It was more of -- we just instantly fell in love with them all, and knew they had to come home with us so we could give them proper homes," Craddock told CBSDetroit.com.

Each of the men took one of the puppies home.

Craddock's grandparents took the mother and one of her puppies.
