Dogs find abandoned baby girl in India - Las Vegas Sun
Stray dogs located a baby girl abandoned under mud and leaves in northeastern India and their barking alerted rescuers, a government official said Tuesday.
The newborn was discovered Sunday when the dogs' yelps and howls drew villagers to a fruit orchard, district magistrate Asangba Chuba Ao told The Associated Press.
Bits of mud and dry leaves had been scattered on top of the child, he said.
The girl was placed in the care of a farm couple in the village of Narhan, in the Nepal-bordering state of Bihar. Local officials had no information about her birth parents.
Authorities did not provide an explanation for the child's apparent abandonment. But a cultural preference for boys in India means women face a great deal of pressure to produce male children, often leading to sex-selective abortions and the abandonment of female infants.
