Why do dogs let a puppy die if they have a big litter?
Metrostation101
There are many reasons for puppies not surviving birth. Mother's don't "let" the puppies die, there isn't anything the mother dog can do about it. Some pups are born with internal problems that aren't apparent. Healthy pups should survive, unhealthy pups shouldn't.
