An abandoned baby girl who was ‘left to be eaten by wild animals’ in a garbage bag was discovered by a stray dog and carried to safety, according to reports.
The animal is said to have found the baby girl in a bin bag at the town hall in Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli on Wednesday.
The dog then began dragging the bag with the newborn inside and a passer-by heard a crying sound coming from it, The National reports.
The baby was taken to the Islamic Hospital, before being transferred to the Tripoli Government Hospital.
Her condition was described as having been serious but stable, with people describing her survival as a ‘miracle’.
Pictures of the baby have been shared online showing she sustained bruising and cuts during the horrific ordeal, but she is said to have recovered quickly.
There has been widespread outrage in the country and condemnation of the heinous act, with many pointing out that the dog ‘has more humanity’ than the ‘criminal’ parents.
‘Some say that the dog is an unclean animal and, of course, this is not true,’ one commentator, Farid, said on Twitter.
‘The dog has much more humanity, kindness, cunning and intelligence.’
