Sh*cking Moment Child Dragged Away By Wild Dogs In Front Of House Caught On Camera (Video)

Disturbing CCTV footage has captured the harrowing moment a group of stray dogs attacked a young boy in front of his terrified mother.

The incident took place in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India, as the mother and her five-year-old son, Anik, were walking along a street on July 7.

In the video, the dogs suddenly emerged and pounced on Anik, sinking their teeth into him and attempting to drag him away. One dog latched onto his ankle while another bit into his arm, as his desperate mother struggled to pull him free.

Despite her efforts, the footage shows the dogs seemingly working together to haul the frightened boy down the road. Four stray dogs are visible in the video before a nearby resident heard the commotion and rushed to help.

Thankfully, the mother eventually managed to scoop Anik into her arms and flee to safety.

Local reports say the boy was taken to the hospital with 18 serious bite wounds and is still undergoing treatment as he recovers from the traumatic attack, according to Daily Goat.
