Baby Rescued By Stray Dog After Being Abandoned In Trash
Daily Wire ^ | By Katie Jerkovich • Jul 20, 2023

A baby girl was rescued by a stray dog that located her in a garbage can after the child was abandoned by someone in the town of Tripoli, Lebanon, and her condition is listed as serious, but stable.

The dog was spotted carrying a black trash bag the animal found in the garbage outside a municipal building in the country’s city on Wednesday, the National reported.

A passerby saw the dog and then heard cries coming from the garbage bag being held in the dog’s mouth. The person found the baby inside the bag, and took her to a nearby hospital before she was transferred to the Tripoli Government Hospital, the outlet noted.

The hospital hasn’t provided new information about the little girl, due to the start of the Islamic New Year, after local media described her condition as serious but stable.

Ghassan Rifi, a journalist in Tripoli, questioned the intentions of the person who abandoned the baby.

“It was not known whether the ‘wild lady’ who threw the child and fled to an unknown destination had intended to throw her in the area so that the dogs would finish her off and eat her corpse or to draw attention to her,” Rifi wrote online in Arabic, the outlet noted.

“But in all cases, the dog that dragged her was more humane in the face of the brutality and criminality of the one who threw her,” the journalist added.

The comments were echoed by others on social media after pictures of the child surfaced online with the infant having abrasions and bruises across her body and face.

“Animals have more compassion than humans,” one person tweeted.

Another wrote, “The dog has much more humanity, kindness, cunning, and intelligence than some satanic mutants in human form.”

While another added, “Some say that the dog is an unclean animal and, of course, this is not true.”

There have been conflicting reports as to how old the child is, with speculation ranging from her being barley born to being as old as four-months, the outlet noted.

Police say they are investigating and looking for the individual who abandoned the child.

The stray dog “rescued” the baby, eh? Riiiiight. Very lucky that the passerby rescued the baby from her rescuer.

What happened to the dog? Sounds like a dog that deserves a good home with a nice family.

Wait, in Libya they assume the person giving birth to a baby is a woman?

Nothing irn the article suggested the media cared more about the holiday. The article said the hospital couldn’t provide info because of the holiday.

More likely unmarried and hidden birth as they would execute her as punishment

for her sin - even if it was a rape baby.

What makes people believe that the stray dog had good intentions, but was instead removing the child from the competition to a more secure spot for itself?

I personally see nothing that indicates what the true intentions of the dog was by what was presented. It is just the inference being stated by some of those responding on what was reported. which wasn't much.

I even went to the source Daily Wire used as their source:

It is a sobering thought to discover that dogs have better morals than people.

Humans are a pretty miserable lot, and it looks like there are a few even worse than me. Dogs rank above humans IMO, and the gap seems to growing wider every day.

Whoever adopts the girl needs to adopt the dog as well.

Dogs are considered ‘’unclean’’ in Islam and as such are treated very harshly. The dog might have just been answering instinct and taking the child some where secure to kill and eat it.
