Stray Dog Attack Injures Woman and Toddler in Pune

A woman in Pune was carrying her one-year-old child when a stray dog attacked her.

The dog bit her leg.

She lost her balance during the attack.

The child fell to the ground and was injured too.

The attack happened near a housing society in Old Sangvi.

People living nearby say they had complained about dangerous dogs before.

They are worried about attacks on children, women, and older people.

Official figures show that reported dog-bite cases in the area have increased greatly.

Residents and animal welfare activists say sterilisation and vaccination programs may not be large enough.
