Scots name five adorable pups after stray mum found pregnant during lockdown

Five adorable pups have been named by the Scots during lockdown.

Over 15,000 animal lovers gave their vote to name a litter of five puppies that were born at Dogs Trust.

We told how the tiny  terriers  were born at the Uddingston centre six weeks ago after their mum was found as a stray by local authorities while heavily pregnant.

The mum, who was named Linda by staff, has been receiving lots of love and attention and is fully recovered from her ordeal.

The puppies now all have names, as well as new homes.

The names chosen for the puppies by the public were: Hope, Hero, Sunny, Rainbow and Joy.

Considering recent times, one of the stranger names to be suggested by the public included “Lockdown”.

Sandra Lawton, rehoming centre manager said: “It is great the public got so actively involved in the poll and I’m thrilled the pups have all been given such positive names, as we need a little optimism during the current crisis.

"We are fortunate to have such passionate supporters.
