Rescued coyote blinded by bullet gives birth to healthy pups

SOLVANG, Calif. (AP) - Animal rescuers in Southern California were surprised when X-rays revealed that an emaciated coyote found at the bottom of an empty reservoir was pregnant.

They were even more surprised when the coyote - blinded by a bullet and near death when it was discovered in February - gave birth a month later to a litter of five healthy puppies.
