As public concern continues to rise over frequent stray dog attacks on children and pedestrians, a recent incident captured on video has gone viral, further fueling the debate. The video shows a schoolgirl being chased by stray dogs in Kerala’s Kozhikode district.
The incident occurred in Varikoli near Kallachi, Nadapuram, where a Class 9 student from Vattoli National Higher Secondary School had a narrow escape. On her way to school in the morning, she was suddenly charged at by a group of stray dogs.
Thinking quickly, the girl threw her school bag to distract the animals and fled. CCTV footage shows one of the dogs attempting to bite the bag while chasing her. Fortunately, she escaped unharmed. Residents of the area say this is not an isolated case. They report that stray dog attacks have become increasingly common in both Nadapuram and Kallachi, with several past incidents involving students and other locals. The growing number of such attacks has intensified calls for urgent action to manage the stray dog population and ensure public safety.
