It was a seemingly normal day as Charmaine Keevy walked her dog Georgie in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on April 3.
The 63-year-old and her Dachshund mix usually take a different route, but for some reason, Keevy decided to walk elsewhere and their journey took them past a storm drain.
All of a sudden, Georgie started barking as they walked by the drain. “I first thought it was a cat because he is scared of cats, but then when I heard the cries again, I realized it was a baby,” Keevy said.
She quickly flagged down Cornie Viljoen’s car on Sedan Avenue and he used a steel bar to lift the concrete covering from the drain.
The newborn down below was naked and still had the umbilical cord attached and a coating of vernix around her body.
Viljoen climbed into the 6-feet deep hole and started moving towards the baby when he encountered an army of red ants higher up in the drain that began to sting his legs. The newborn was lucky the ants were not near where she was.
“I didn’t know if the baby was injured so I tried to pick her up very carefully and very slowly and she was so small,” Viljoen told The Daily Mail. “I just wanted to hold her for a while but I knew that she needed urgent medical help.”
