While it is physically possible to train a puppy to take human breast milk, it is not recommended. This behaviour has been observed in some cultures, though very rarely in western culture. Human breast milk is evolved specifically to benefit humans, so it will be of little benefit to dogs. The nutrients, vitamins and so on are different because both dogs and babies have different nutritional requirements.

You can adopt a surrogate mother dog. Or it may be possible to purchase dog milk from some animal shelters. If you cannot do either, then cow, goat or camel milk will be a fair replacement, though it is still not as beneficial as dog milk.

It is also possible for humans to get infections from puppies nursing on breasts. Dogs have millions of e.coli cultures in their anus, which they lick often. This e.coli bacteria will be posing a risk to your breast health by infecting your mammary glands. Female dogs are more tolerant of e.coli bacteria and have a less chance of getting infections from puppies suckling on her.

Chihuahua moms can potentially abandon their puppies, although it is not common. There are various reasons why a Chihuahua mother may abandon her puppies, such as stress, illness, or if she perceives a threat to her own safety. It is important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the mother and her puppies to minimize the risk of abandonment.
