This is the third incident of dog attacking a child in Bengaluru this month.
A nine-year-old child was attacked by a pet dog in Kadugodi. In the same month, a eleven-year-old boy was also mauled by a pet dog in city’s Jayanagar.
This comes after an eight-year-old child was bit by a pet dog of a couple in Bengaluru’s Koramangala last year. The child’s parents lodged a complaint against the owners of the pet over the incident.
Dogs attacking people in residential buildings, parks are on the rise. While animal welfare organisations have questioned the veracity of some of the dog attack incidents, people have been complaining on social media about the growing menace.
