A group of men on a stag finally returned home with a litter of puppies after a stray crashed into their party.
Mitchel Craddock is on a traditional men’s vacation with his friends at a cabin in the woods near Huntsville, Tennessee, before his upcoming wedding.
But their party was interrupted when a stray dog knocked on the door, desperate for food.
Mitchel told The Tennessean “We couldn’t get her inside,” . She just looked at us as we ate breakfast with the door open.

“It took a few minutes for her to gain our trust but from then on, she was our best friend.”
The men followed the dog to the woods where they discovered she had given birth to seven puppies and was struggling to provide milk for her litter.
And rather than just leave them to an uncertain fate, the eight men decided to adopt all eight dogs and bring them back home with them.

Mitchel added: “You think of a bachelor party, and that’s the last thing you think of.
“Eight guys go down to go four wheeling and come back with eight dogs.”
The doggy mum – now named Annie – and her pups Knox, Bear, Daisy, Gunner, Brimmy, Finn, and Rose all have a loving home with their rescuers.
