On the Origin of the Species

This is from Cesar Millan's How to Raise the Perfect Dog

...The moment her first (ever) puppy was born, Binky proved she was going to be a supermom. She appeared both fascinated and thrilled by her new infant, immediately licking her clean and biting off the umbilical cord as if she had done it a thousand times before...
...Binky's hydrocephalic (deformed head) puppy illustrates a fact that I believe humans very much need to understand--motherhood, for a dog, is not an emotional experience, it is an instinctual experience. Her hydrocephalic puppy was born dead, and Binky totally ignored it. She made no attempt to revive it or to clean it. Her only concern was delivering her living puppies and making sure they were safe and healthy.
