In a shocking incident, an 8-year-old girl succumbed to death after being viciously attacked by a stray dog in the village Jalalpur Pirwala, ARY News reported.

According to the police officials, the Minor girl, named Maryam, went to a local shop, where she was encountered with the ferocious animals.

Local authorities in Jalalpur Pirwala rushed to the scene upon receiving distressing reports of the attack and promptly transported the victim to the nearest hospital in critical condition.

Back in 2021, three children were mauled by a stray dog in the Marvi Goth neighborhood of Karachi’s Quaidabad area when the minors were playing in a street.

The two-year-old Raja, three-year-old Bibi Rehana, and four-year-old Aasia were bitten by a stray dog when they were playing in the street. According to the Jinnah Hospital’s executive director Dr Seemi Jamali, the children received wounds on the face and head.

The children were immediately administered anti-rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin, she added.

It is noteworthy to mention here that more than 8,000 dog bite cases have been reported at Karachi’s Jinnah Hospital so far.
