Animals Save Lives!
A pack of Indian dogs saves a human baby from the
dangers of the night.
According to the Press Trust of India, one spring evening in 1996 in Calcutta, a pack of hungry, homeless dogs looking for food in a garbage dump came across a baby sitting on top of the rubbish. The dogs smelled the baby, who was crying and cold. They had never seen a human baby before. But they stopped looking for food right then and stayed with the small, helpless baby. A dump was nowhere for a baby to be—there were many
dangers and nobody to feed or keep the baby warm. The night was long. The hungry, wet and tired baby
couldn’t sleep well on top of the piles of rubbish. The dogs stayed through the night. In the morning, a
woman walking through the dump found the baby. The dogs allowed the woman to pick up the baby,
knowing that she would take the baby somewhere safe. The woman took the baby to a police station,
where the dogs stood outside and waited. When the baby’s parents could not be found, the baby was
sent to Mother Teresa’s abandoned children’s home. There are many stories from around the world of
dogs—and other animals, including pigs, dolphins, chickens and even kangaroos—helping people.
