Stray Dogs Rescue Abandoned Baby

Reuters has a heart-wearming story about three stray dogs that saved the life of an abandoned baby girl in India.

Hundreds of villagers have flocked to a remote Indian village to see a baby girl who was saved by stray dogs after she was abandoned in a mound of mud by her mother, officials said on Tuesday.

Villagers in the eastern state of Bihar saved the newborn on the weekend after they saw three dogs barking near a baby covered with mud.

"The dogs removed the soil around and began to bark and the baby started crying which drew attention of the local villagers," Ram Narayan Sahani, a senior government official, said on Tuesday from Bihar's Samastipur district.

Animals are great, they have no conflicts about what they are.
I hope we can keep as many species around on Earth for as long as it lasts.

Sometimes animals have more humanity in them than people.

Sometimes? I love my dogs more than some members of my own family. The dogs are more lovable on their worst day than some of the jerks in my family.

Lucky baby. I hope the dogs will all find loving homes. Bless their hearts.
