Stray Dogs Chase, Attack Boy in Maharashtra's Daulatabad; Boy Injured
A little boy was playing outside his home when two stray dogs started chasing him.
The dogs caught him and bit him many times, and he got very hurt.
People who heard his screams ran to help and scared the dogs away by shouting and throwing stones.
The boy was then taken to a hospital, where doctors are taking care of him.
His injuries are serious, but we don't know all the details yet.
People in the area are upset and worried because there are more and more stray dogs around.
They say the dogs have also chased people on bikes and bitten people walking at night.
This is not the first time something like this has happened.
About a month ago, a three-year-old boy was badly hurt by a pack of dogs in a nearby village.
The residents are asking the local leaders and officials to do something to keep children safe from stray dogs.
A young boy was seriously injured after two stray dogs chased and attacked him in Daulatabad, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, Maharashtra.
The child was playing outside his home when the dogs targeted him, knocked him to the ground and bit him repeatedly.

Residents, especially parents, expressed anger and concern over the rising number of stray dogs, which have previously chased two-wheelers and attacked pedestrians at night.
The attack rekindled memories of a recent incident in Kasabkheda village where three-year-old Sarthak Patil was allegedly mauled to death by a pack of eight stray dogs.
