Stray Dog Pack Mauls 3-Year-Old Boy In Parbhani's Jintur
A little boy who is three years old was playing outside his home in a village in India.
Suddenly, a group of three or four stray dogs ran up and bit him very badly.
The boy's name is Mahadev and he got hurt very seriously.
When people heard him screaming, they came running to help.
Four brave villagers chased the dogs away and took the little boy to the hospital.
The boy's father was not at home because he was away taking care of his sheep.
His mother was doing housework when the attack happened.
The people in the village are scared because more and more stray dogs are living near them.
They want the leaders to do something so that children can play outside safely.
The boy is still in the hospital and everyone is hoping he gets better soon.
A 3-year-old boy, Mahadev Vilas Jawade, was attacked by a pack of stray dogs at Mandhani in Jintur taluka of Parbhani district on Monday afternoon.
The boy sustained serious injuries and was admitted to the District Hospital in Parbhani, where villagers said his condition is critical.
Jawade was playing in the courtyard in front of his house when three or four stray dogs suddenly attacked him.
Villagers Balu Mule, Santosh Padalkar, Bandu Harkal and Sudhakar Maske rushed to the spot, drove the dogs away and took the child to hospital.
Residents, citing a rise in the stray dog population and previous attacks, demanded stern action from the administration against the stray dog menace.
