Bengaluru: A three-year-old girl was mauled by a stray dog while she was playing near her grandmother’s house in Medahalli in KR Puram on Monday. The victim, S. Poorvi, daughter of Satish and Hema, has been bitten on eyelids, nose, lips and cheeks. Some passersby and relatives rushed her to a private nursing home after chasing away the dog, which was allegedly rabid. Hema, a housewife, said, “The dog attacked our daughter around 12.30 pm. She is in the ICU. I am worried as her face has been mauled badly.”
Poorvi’s father Satish, a lab assistant, said that the area is infested with stray dogs.
The doctors attending on the girl said that a small surgery was performed as her left lower eyelid was torn. “Her nose, upper lips and cheeks have been damaged and plastic surgery will be done. She needs four months to recover. She is out of danger,” they said.
Dr Maheshwar Gowda, Joint Director, Animal Husbandry Department (BBMP), said that a team has been deputed to catch the dog and to keep it under observation.

jamahir's comment - wanted to post this article sooner... bangalore is the "dog capital of the world" and i have posted so many posts about dogs attacking or killing people in bangalore and other parts of india... however, some insane members laughed at my posts.
three such members,
@Robinhood Pandey ,
@T-72M1 and
@Parul need to be delivered to the family of this attacked girl and the three should be told to laugh at the attacked girl as they did at my posts... another member,
@Technogaianist , should show this girl and her family "cute" posters of dogs... however, i won't guarantee the safety of these four pdf members.
to mention the "animal husbandry department" of the bangalore municipal authority, their point in keeping the dog under observation is really their reluctance to kill the dog despite it having attacked the girl so brutally.
as again i say, the only proper solution about the dog menace in india is put a few thousand dogs on a island where dog-lovers can visit... the remaining of the 35+ million dogs in india must be eradicated.
