When Jake and Lynnette Klassen left Saskatoon with the Freedom Convoy, they took their pregnant dog with them.
On Saturday, February 5th, five Yorkie-Shih-Tzu-mix puppies were born in the truck, in downtown Ottawa, near the intersection of Kent and Gloucester Streets.
The puppies names are Convoy, Freedom, Hope, Trucky, and Grizzly.
This second video was filmed by photojournalist Beth Baisch. She posted it to Twitter on Feb. 14th. In Jake’s words: “There’s new life, and we’re here to try to give new life to Canada.”
