COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — What started as a harrowing tale of survival has turned into a happy ending for a litter of puppies found outside in the freezing cold.

Dubbed the “Morse Road miracle pups,” all 10 dogs went home with their forever families after a puppy yoga event Sunday at the Franklin County Dog Shelter.

The ten newborn puppies were found in a box on the side of Morse Road on a well-below-freezing January day by a good Samaritan who took them to the shelter.

At eight weeks old, the dogs were the draw of Sunday’s sold-out puppy yoga at the shelter and ended with all the dogs being adopted.
