A horrifying video of a girl being mauled by a pack of
dogs has struck a wildfire on the internet. Posted on Twitter, the video was
captured on a CCTV, and shows a 4-year-old being dragged and attacked by five
dogs.  The girl was rescued by a passer-by,
who immediately rushed to the scene and threw stones at the vicious pack. The incident
occurred in Bagsewania, a small locality in Bhopal,
Madhya Pradesh.

 The 4-year-old has been hospitalised under critical
care after sustaining multiple injuries on her abdomen, head, and legs. The
girl, who is the daughter of a low-wage labourer, was playing in her
neighbourhood moments before the attack took place. The video shows the footage
of her being chased. Seconds later, the girl fails to escape and trips over,
resulting in the attacks.  

Only
moments later, a passer-by saw the incident and quickly decided to throw a few
stones at the pack of dogs in order to chase them away. After making sure the
dogs had left, the passer-by got back to check on the girl, who seemed to have
been bleeding in the short footage.

mother.
