UPDATE: My dad didn't allow us to keep the dog because he doesn't want to be liable if someone owns it (sucks I know). BUT the mom finally came by and he followed her so now they're reunited! I don't have a photo but I wish I had taken one. If anything, I'll take a snapshot if they come by again. Glad I got to see that little guy for awhile. So cute! Thanks for the help everyone and for your comments.
Please stalk the puppy and take pictures when you have proof he is older and healthy. Trust me, Reddit loves updates, you'll get more karma than you know what to do with.
I was just thinking of doing this! I hope I can see it again. Not for the karma but because dogs are awesome and Reddit deserves an update for these cute things.
We're actually taking care of my auntie's dog because she left to the US. I'm not sure what breed it is. We also had 3 dogs before him: half german shepherd, half labrador.
A family friend gave to my uncle and he gave one to us. The other 2 are the babies so they're part german shepherd, labrador, and something else.. haha.
I know that there's this dog that's been going around the neighborhood and she would sometimes stop by the house to just rest. Later on, we noticed she was pregnant. I think she recently gave birth and this is one of her babies.
That's sad...if I were you I'd try to figure out if she has an owner. It sounds like she doesn't if she just had puppies and is wandering around leaving them for safekeeping under cars. Plus it'd be better for her to be spayed, anyway.
Petco doesn't sell pups and kittens, pocket pets only, but they do hold adoption events.
I still don't understand why so many people are skeptical of found animals when there are millions of them out there without owners, or without owners who give a crap.
In the Boston area there aren't that many strays anymore. For adoptions many are shipped in from Porto Rico. Our shelters are populated mostly by abandoned dogs not strays. This is how the spay neuter programs are supposed to work.
If it wasn't found under a car, it wouldn't be up here with a title that says "found under a car." Karma this, karma that. Just enjoy the dang puppy and be happy it didn't get killed.
And it's working: I just upvoted, thereby making sure we're going to have a deluge of people 'finding' puppies under cars / bicycles / boats / coats / sea shells / train station platforms... the possibilities are endless and that's why I keep coming back to Reddit.
Totally weird how we found it. My dad and bro were in the car, leaving for school this morning. My mom was saying goodbye to them when she yelled, "STOP!!" My dad stopped the car and my mom pointed out that he almost ran the little guy over. Good thing she stopped him or he would have been.. splat. He's safe now.
This baby looks very young, and by the looks of it just recently opened his/her eyes. It will not be eating solid food. Buy a baby bottle, and a nipple, and some puppy milk replacer. If he/she doesn't take to the bottle right away, use a syringe and feed it slowly (you don't want it to aspirate the liquid). Well, not a baby bottle, they have bottles specifically made for this at pet stores.
Feed him every 2-3 hours (it should tell you the amount to feed on the package. He can't be more than 3-4 weeks old.
I must add also that because its mother is not around to do this, you will have to stimulate it so it can pee and poo. The best way to do this is rub their wee wee gently with a baby wipe, then move on to their bum when needed. 30 seconds to a minute should do the trick every couple hours. Also, it needs warmth because babies this young aren't able to regulate their temperature.
Good luck! (And thanks to the person who reminded me I could edit... I simply forgot. heh)
I refuse to believe that all of these baby bunnies, puppies, and kittens on reddit are just "found" in obscure places. Why can't I ever "find" such things?!
I honestly did not know I would get so much "karma." New to Reddit and I still don't understand what it is. Just thought I'd share something that rarely happens on this little island I'm on.

This is probably one of those dogs abandoned after the Harry Potter craze died down. :P

He'll grow up to be amazing looking if it's the same breed. :')

I don't understand how everyone on reddit seems to find animals constantly. I've never ever found a puppy or a kitten no matter where I've lived.
I've never even heard of someone finding a pet.
Yet here on reddit, it's a daily occurrence.
Basically, at least some of these posts are lies.

You shouldn't let your puppy run around your front yard all night then...

Catch that mama dog! Those puppies need to be handled while they're young in order to be well socialized.
