Dogs are mammals like humans. One major characteristic of mammals is that they, we, give birth to live babies. The only exception to this is the platypus, a mammal that does lay eggs. Dogs will become fertilized and pups will grow in the mother's uterus for about 63 days. This is known as the gestation period. When the puppies are born they are alive but blind and deaf. The mother will clean them of the pups of the amniotic fluid, the protective liquids in the uterus, and then allow them to suckle or feed.
