The mother of a baby who was found by a dog walker in a park has finally been tracked down by police.
According to reports, the newborn was found wrapped in a blanket and fully cloth and he was found in King’s Norton, Birmingham.
He is said to be “doing really well and is being well cared for.”
Dog walker Terry Walsh shared how he would’ve walked on by what he thought was just a blanket if his pooch had not diverted his attention to the baby.
The newborn cried when the husky started ‘gently nudging’ him with her nose, according to Team Dogs.
“Suddenly I heard this baby cry. I think it was Hel’s gentle nudging and the heat from my husky’s body that woke the baby up,” Mr. Walsh said.
“I was a bit stunned so I quickly went over and lifted part of the blanket away from the baby’s face and it was newborn, as I know now. I knew it was very young.”
Police were concerned for the boy’s mother and asked for the public to help find her.
“The support from the public and media has been instrumental in identifying the mother,” a spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said.
“(We) received an overwhelming response with more than 1,000 lines of enquiry and have since been able to locate the baby’s mother.
“As stated in our public appeals, our priority was always to ensure mum was safe and supported.”
The spokeswoman continued: “We can confirm that no further action will be taken by us and, with partners, we are ensuring that she is getting the appropriate support and care she needs.
“This is a very upsetting case, we would ask you not to speculate any further, as this is deeply distressing for those concerned.
“We would like to thank you for all your help and support in what has been a very sensitive and emotive matter for everyone including investigators who have worked tirelessly to ensure this outcome.
“We wish the baby all the best in the future.”
