Buenos Aires - A newborn baby abandoned outdoors in winter by her 14-year-old mother was found safe in a dog pen with a bitch and her puppies near the Argentinian city of La Plata.
Farmer Fabio Anze had found the naked baby girl being kept warm among his dog China's puppies last Thursday, reports said.
Anze called the police and the baby was taken to hospital.
Egidio Melia, the director of the Melchor Romero hospital, said the baby was a few hours old when she was found, and was in good health.
Police said they had found the teenager who had given birth to the baby outdoors during the night. - Reuters
