Kerala stray dog attack: A girl was attacked by a group of stray dogs in Kannur district of Kerala on Sunday (July 23) morning while she was about to enter her home after alighting from a vehicle, local residents said. Eleven-year-old Ayisha, a resident of Pilathara town in Kannur district, was bitten on her leg by a stray dog and was shifted to a nearby hospital.
A local resident told media that she got down from an autorickshaw, which came to drop her home and was walking the short distance to her house when the canines pounced on her.
"The autorickshaw driver and other locals rushed to the spot hearing her screaming and chased away the dogs. She suffered an injury on her leg and was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital," the local said.
