A newborn infant was left in a rural section of Chhattisgarh before being rescued by a dog who looked after her for the night. While many people were angered by the baby’s abandonment in a field, the tale of the animal’s compassion went viral.
A newborn girl was abandoned in a field in the Saristal village of Lormi, Mungeli district. When the child was abandoned, he was left nude and with the umbilical chord still connected. Surprisingly, stray dogs that were wandering close defended the infant.
Villagers spotted the infant and a litter of pups after hearing the baby scream. The kid was discovered uninjured, and the locals imagined the mother dog and her pups were protecting the human child.
The local police and panchayat were soon sent to the area to assist and rescue the boy. Fortunately, the infant was unhurt despite being left out in the cold.
The rescuers gave the infant girl the name Akanksha. The committee will determine the location of the child’s domicile. The family of the infant is being sought by officials, who are also probing the event.
“We had come out for work and at 11 am we saw that there is a newborn baby girl was lying in the village amid dogs. Then, we informed the health department. After that, the newborn was taken to the hospital.” Local sarpanch representative Munnalal Patel tells the media.
Many residents, including law enforcement officers, have urged for harsh punishment for the baby’s family. They also stated that the baby should not be sent to a family that could abuse the youngster.
