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.
The baby girl was discovered in a field in the Saristal village of Lormi in India’s Chhattisgarh province, nestled alongside the puppies, completely uninjured, by locals who heard her crying.
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.
They said: ‘At 11 in the morning, we saw that there is a newborn baby girl who was crying and lying alongside puppies in our village.
Another local, who wished to remain anonymous, said: ‘It’s possibly the warmth from puppies and their mother itself who had kept this new born alive.’
They added that it was ‘sheer luck’ that the girl, who has been named Akanksha, survived the night given how the temperature dips during the night – particularly at this time of year.
One local also claimed that it was a miracle the child survived because stray dogs can be vicious.
After Akanksha was discovered, a branch of local government known as the panchayat was contacted, who involved the police.
Officers arrived shortly after and transported the child to hospital so doctors could examine her condition.
The Child Line Project has also been made aware of the child’s situation.
One local, Premnath, said it was a ‘miracle’ the baby had survived the night, because stray dogs can be vicious, he said.
An investigation is underway, and police are searching for the newborn’s parents.
