Not your average commute, even on Russia’s subway lines.
A homeless dog went into labor on a Moscow subway train Monday morning, giving birth to a litter of adorable little pups.

If you’re wondering how she got onto the train in the first place, Moscow is home to thousands of street dogs, some of whom have learned to navigate the city’s massive subway system all by themselves.

Metro workers took the train out of service and routed it to the depot, where the dog gave birth to eight more pups.

There, the mother got veterinary care and she and her newborns were taken to a city animal shelter, the metro’s press secretary told Rossiskaya Gazeta. One more puppy was born en route, the shelter said on Instagram.

The shelter also announced that the new mom now has a new name: Taganka, after one of the stations on the metro’s Circle Line, which she was traveling on when she started to give birth.
Muscovites interested in adopting Taganaka and her puppies can contact the Zoorasvet shelter here.
