An American Bulldog named Daisy Mae has given birth to 21 puppies, nearly double the average litter size of 11.
"Every couple hours one would come out. I kept thinking 'Well, that has to be the end,'" said owner Scott Ballard.
The Ballards live on a 28-acre farm near Columbia, Ill., and bred Daisy Mae with Groucho, a friend's registered bulldog.
Four of the puppies died in the labour that lasted more than 20 hours, but the 17 that survived just celebrated their 6-week birthday and can be adopted.
