Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated March 12, 1949 partially reads, "'Lady,' German Shepherd dog at the Sun Valley ranch of the George Acrets is blissfully happy with her newborn litter today. It seems inconsequential to her that the litter comprises, not canine puppies, but quadruplet goats. There was no apparent need for adoption. The mother of the four, Dam Bakri Blossom III, is perfectly willing to attend to her own maternal duties.

"Lady" supervises feeding time of newborn kids, quadruplet goats, Cynthia, Lisa, Phoebe and Ci.; See image #00116217 for additional photo in this series.
