Get lots of towels first (and a heating pad if you have one)
Usually momma dog will do all the work and you should have some time in between puppies to get help.
Watch for the first puppy to come out and only assist in pulling it out if mom dog doesn't. The mom should begin to tear into the sac surrounding it and then lick the puppy to make it cry. If the mom does not do this or is more preoccupied with eating the sac (normal) then pick up the puppy and vigorously rub it with the towel to get it squealing. Place the puppy next to the mothers nipple and it should begin suckling. Place the heating pad under some bedding/towels underneath the puppies and turn it to low to help keep the pups warm.
You need to call your parents or the vet if at all possible!

Answer 8

Why would any parent leave a kid alone with a dog that is about to have its pups?

Call your vet and try and get hold of your parents.

Don't worry too much. Dogs do this themselves all the time in the wild. The best thing to do is just keep a close eye on her and only intervene if she is having problems. Ask your vet what to look out for.
