Stray Dog Saves Baby Who Was Dumped in a Garbage Bag: Report

A 🐕Stray dog was found carrying a baby in a garbage bag by a Tripoli municipal building in Lebanon Wednesday. According to The National News, a passer-by heard the baby’s cries.

The baby was discovered with bruises across her body and face. This sparked outrage at the baby girl’s condition, which was listed as “serious but stable,” via Ya Libnan. 

Tripoli journalist Ghassan Rifi noted, “Usually, when someone wants to give up their kids, they place them in front of an orphanage or a police station.”

He also described the serious 🐕Stray dog issue in the area and how dangerous it gets at night.

Abdulrahman Darwish, Union of Relief and Development Associations representative in Tripoli, dissuaded any connection between the incident and Syrian refugee camps, noting that “no one has ever dumped their newborn on a street full of stray dogs.”

The Ya Libnan report also stated the baby “is believed to be only a few hours old,” but other reports have claimed she may be as old as 4 months, according to the New York Post.
