Rescue crews were shocked to fine the puppies safe and sound when the fire cleared.
It took about an hour to extract the babies.
The puppies appear to be in good health and have since been reunited with their mother, whose name is Negrita.

Earlier this month in the U.S., a dog named Hero was just as quick thinking as Negrita.
He led animal control officials deep into the woods of a Dallas park, where they and came across ten freezing puppies and their mother, who has been named Mona.
The eleven animals have been transferred to a loving foster home and Hero continues to keep a close eye over the family.
