The British newspaper, “Daily Star”, quoting local sources in India, reported that a dog and her puppies rescued an abandoned newborn by keeping her warm in a field all night, after she was left there.
The “Daily Star” indicated that “locals in Chhattisgarh district, India, claim that someone left the newborn girl in the field during the night naked with the umbilical cord still attached to her, pointing out that the baby was found by a dog who cuddled her all night with her young puppies.” .
Speaking about the incident, a local resident said: “Maybe it was the warmth from the puppies and their mother herself that kept this newborn alive.. Usually the temperature drops at night, and this is December.. I must say that it is fortunate for her. , according to the Daily Star.
According to the newspaper, the infant was found next to a group of puppies, without injuries, and it was discovered after local residents heard him crying, according to the newspaper.
The locals reported the Panchayats, a local government body, who in turn called the police, who arrived soon after. The girl was referred to the ‘Child Line’ project after being examined by doctors at a local hospital and has since been named ‘Akanksha’.
A local resident, Premnath, said it was a “miracle” that the baby survived the night, when stray dogs can be evil.
He added: “They are not parents, they are criminals, it is only a miracle that we find a newborn alive while stray dogs lurk every now and then in the dead of night.”
