Dogs in India - victims and rescuers

3/10/2007


Even as stray dogs mauled two children to death in Bangalore recently, three dogs saved the life of a deserted new-born baby in Devarayanadurga reserve forests three days ago.

An unmarried girl of Aregujjanahalli village conceived following an affair with a daily wage worker attached to the forests department. As he rejected her requests to marry her, she decided to conceal it fearing social stigma and deliver in the forest.

Three dogs from the village followed her and another caretaker to the forests on Tuesday. She delivered a baby boy by evening. Both she and her caretaker later left the scene, deserting the baby.

Interestingly, the dogs stayed back and guarded the baby...
