Not long ago, a young girl named Elysia Laub discovered something she did not expect to see crawling in her backyard. A newborn baby was rustling around in the bushes when 9-year-old Elysia discovered her.

Elysia had simply assumed it would be her pet pigs playing, but something made her decide to take a look anyway. When she found the baby, she was shocked. At first, she thought her two pigs had a baby. She told a reporter from the CBC news that all she saw was two pink legs kicking away.

She didn't second guess herself and went to get help. She called her mother for help. At first, her mother could not believe that she had found a baby, assuming it was a doll or a prank. But when she got closer, she could see that the placenta and umbilical cord were still attached.

Elysia's mother ran to the baby and quickly scooped her up. She told her daughter to run into the house and call 911. They wrapped up the newborn and kept her safe until authorities arrived. While they waited, they noticed she was sunburned but otherwise healthy.

When she was examined by a doctor, they predicted that she had been left out for a few hours or overnight. Maggots had even appeared on the placenta and umbilical cord by the time she was found. They could not believe how this had happened.

They were thankful that this child had miraculously been fine, thanks to the little girl who found her. The baby's mother was later discovered to be a runaway teenager. The case was handed over to child services as the prosecution is pending for child abandonment.

Since her story was released, the video has received two million views. When praised, Elysia simply told CBC news it was God that helped her find the baby. All of the viewers are thankful to Elysia for saving this little baby girl.
