Mama is pictured at the Famproa dogs shelter in Los Teques, Venezuela August 18, 2016. Mama (mother) was given that name because she was left in front of the shelter with her puppies. "All of them were taken for adoption but nobody wanted to take her. Mama is old and almost blind so she does not leave the place where she sleeps and does not share with any other dogs," said Maria Silva who takes care of dogs at the shelter.
