A shocking incident occurred in the Orchid Society located in the Khoni Palava area of Dombivli, Maharashtra, where a 7-year-old girl was attacked by a pack of 10 to 15 stray dogs while on her way to school. The young girl, Swara Dattatreya Nikam, was walking through the society when the dogs, which had formed a group, suddenly attacked her from behind. Luckily, her quick-thinking was not entirely responsible for her safety; a nearby security guard's timely intervention helped divert the dogs and save her from potential harm.

As the pack of dogs chased her, the frightened girl began to run around in a panic, which only made the dogs more aggressive and more intent on pursuing her. Her loud screams were heard by the security personnel on duty, who immediately rushed to the scene armed with a stick to chase away the dogs and ensure her safety. Fortunately, the child escaped without any serious injuries, but the traumatic experience left her mentally shaken.

This incident raises significant concerns regarding public safety and the presence of stray dogs in residential areas. While the timely response of the security guard prevented a more severe situation, the local community may need to address the ongoing issue of stray dogs and the potential risks they pose to young children and pedestrians in the vicinity. This article emphasizes the need for effective animal control measures to ensure the safety of residents.
