Omg.

How horrifying, and sad, for your friend... I can't imagine how I would feel about my dog after realizing she ate three of her puppies. Just, disgusted. Dogs are still animals, though, and sometimes they do things for a reason or no reason at all, just acting on instinct. I know how saddened I was when one of my Betta daddies ate most of his fry, and that doesn't even compare.

I feel for you. It's wonderful that the surviving puppies have a surrogate Mom. Where the pics at??? I hope their Mom finds a good home where she won't have any more puppies!
