A “real-life Lassie” led her rescuers on a two-mile trek to find her puppies in an abandoned barn, new video shows.

The stray dog, named Betty Boop, became a regular sight around Fowler, California, and locals suspected she was there to scavenge for her pups during the day.

Krystle Woodward, 33, of the Pinky Paws ResQ, and her husband managed to trap Betty last month, but were unaware she recently gave birth.

They successfully captured her a second time, and decided to take her to the vet, who told them the pooch was nursing.

“I cried all night thinking about those puppies out there,” Woodward wrote on a video caption on YouTube.

On April 14, Betty was trying to escape all day — and Woodward knew she needed to take action.

“We took her out and I played puppies crying on my phone,” she wrote. “She cried and started leading me two miles out into the country, [and] then as she got closer she slowed down. She took me down the vineyards to an abandoned farm house.”

As Woodward walked inside the house with Betty, she immediately heard puppies barking and whimpering.

“Oh, she told us,” Woodward sobbed on the video. “Oh my goodness!”

“She trusted me to show me where her 10 puppies were found,” she wrote in the caption. “This is truly a miracle to me.”

Six of the puppies are still in need of adoption, according to a Wednesday morning post.
