See Centre Press story SWPUPPIES; A dog has given birth to 15 adorable puppies in what turned out to be a special Mother's Day.

The 40-year-old from Galashiels said: "The dogs are all brilliant and Poppy is doing brilliant considering it's her first litter.

While the plan is to sell the puppies, Lisa's daughter Abi has taken one so that Poppy, 2, can still have contact with one of her babies.
