Police officers in Rivers, located north of Brandon,  rescued five puppies from an underground tunnel the dogs' mother had dug on Monday.

Police say they were alerted about the pups yesterday and later found one that had escaped the tunnel and was dehydrated.

They found the other four animals when they started digging.

The dogs are being cared for at the Brandon Humane Society and will eventually be put up for adoption.
