An abandoned baby girl was found alive and uninjured in a field alongside a litter of puppies.
The miracle story takes place in the village of Saristal in India where baffled locals discovered an abandoned newborn girl in a field alongside several little puppies.
It is believed that the child was found by the puppies’ mother who lay down beside her and kept her and the puppies warm overnight.
The baby was found the following morning by a group of locals who were ready to start their daily chores when they heard cries coming from the field.
“At 11 in the morning, we saw that there is a newborn baby girl who was crying and lying alongside puppies in our village,” Munnalal Patel said.
“We panicked and informed the health department before the newborn was taken to the hospital for further check-up.”
Another local added: “It’s possibly the warmth from puppies and their mother itself who had kept this new born alive.”
Since temperatures in the region can reach low levels during this time of the year, the locals insisted it was “sheer luck” that kept the baby alive long enough to be found.
One local also claimed that it was a miracle the child survived because stray dogs can be vicious.
“They are not parents, they are criminals. It is a miracle only to find new born baby surviving when stray dogs are lurking every now and then at the dead of the night,” they said, suggesting that the newborn was lucky to be found by a mamma dog.
Following the discovery, the newborn baby, who has since been named Akanksha, was rushed to the hospital. The police and the Child Line Project have since also gotten involved in the case.
