A group of groomsmen adopted a malnourished dog and her litter of puppies after finding them in a hole in the woods during one of the group's Bachelor parties. 

The men from Vicksburg, Michigan, had traveled to Tennessee to celebrate Mitchel Craddock's forthcoming wedding when the dog appeared at the door of the log cabin they had rented. 

They followed her into the woods where they found her seven puppies hiding in a hole, covered in dirt and flees.

The men and their families each took in one of the dogs, bringing them home to Michigan after the weekend-long party.

Craddock told ABC how the puppies' mother approached the house on their first day after smelling bacon from the kitchen. 

'We were cooking bacon with the door open. The next thing you know, there’s this dog sitting right at the front door. 

'She wouldn’t come inside but she sat right there.

'After we gave her a bunch of food and water she started producing milk again. So we figured if she’s making milk, her pups can’t be that old,' he said.

The group of eight men followed her into the woodland to a patch in the ground she was closely guarding, he said. 

There, they found her seven puppies in a hole.

The group washed the dogs of fleas and dirt and took them back to the cabin to look after them. 

Their beer fund was put towards dog food by the end of the trip, Craddock added. 

Now all of the dogs live with the men in a five-mile radius.

Doug Craddock, the groom's father, adopted the mother and named her Annie 

Craddock married his wife Kristen on October 8th. The pair already had one dog
