Dogs snatch away boy from jackal's maw
Staff Correspondent, Khulna
Two street dogs saved a baby boy from a jackal's clutches at Chayail village under Jhenaidah Sadar upazila at dead of night Sunday. The jackal sneaked in the house of day labourer Abdul Quddus at midnight, and grabbed and dragged his three-year-old sleeping son Ashik to a fallow land behind the house. Hearing the baby's wails, two stray dogs rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on the jackal. The dogs could save the wounded baby just in time but failed to catch the jackal even after a long chase. Hearing the dogs' barking, Quddus woke up and found his son missing. He and his wife came out and saw what seemed to them a miraculous scene of the dogs guarding their child. Ashik was admitted to Jhenaidah Sadar Hospital next morning in a critical condition being severely bitten by the jackal.
