Stray Dogs Guard Abandoned Newborn Through Winter Night

In a chilling predawn hour in Nadia’s Nabadwip town, an abandoned newborn found an unlikely shield of survival—a silent circle of stray dogs that stood guard through the winter night, keeping the infant alive until residents awoke to a scene that many describe as nothing short of miraculous.

In the hours before dawn, when most of this river town in West Bengal's Nadia district lies silent under a winter sky, a newborn baby was left alone on the cold ground outside a bathroom ina railway workers’ colony, a PTI report said.

The infant was only a few hours old, still marked with blood from birth, with no blanket, no note, and no one nearby. But the baby ‘was not entirely alone.

What followed is now whispered with the disbelief reserved for miracles - a pack of strays, the very dogs people chase away daily, had formed a perfect ring around the newborn, not barking or moving, simply standing guard through the night.

Residents say the dogs did not allow anyone or anything to come near through the night, except the morning light itself.
