A newborn baby was abandoned and incredibly kept alive by a litter of stray puppies snuggling up to her side to keep her warm. The little girl, who is now called Akanksha, was found completely naked and with the umbilical cord still attached to her body in a field in Chattisgarh, India.

The people of the place were so surprised by what happened since under the circumstances he could not have survived the night due to the winter temperatures. The baby’s survival was hailed as a ‘miracle’, as nearby residents say stray dogs can be ruthless.

The local representative, Munnalal Patel, who was on his way to do some housework, was the one who heard a baby crying, telling Metro UK :

“At 11 in the morning, we saw that there is a newborn girl who was crying and lying next to the puppies in our village. We panicked and informed the health department before the newborn was taken to hospital for further monitoring.”

Surprisingly, after checking the baby, the doctors found the little girl completely healthy.

A resident of the sector even said:

“Possibly, it was the warmth of the cubs and its own mother that kept this newborn alive. Usually the temperature drops at night and it’s already December. I must say that it is pure luck of him ».

People say that everything that happened is a miracle since it is something surprising to find a completely healthy newborn baby, who survives when the stray dogs of the places lurk from time to time in the dark of the night.
