In a distressing incident, a young girl was bitten by a pet dog inside the lift of a prominent housing society in Noida’s Sector 107. The incident, captured on CCTV footage, has reignited discussions surrounding pet safety and responsible ownership in residential communities.
The CCTV footage shows the girl alone in the elevator when a brown pet dog suddenly rushes in and attacks her as soon as the doors open on a certain floor. The alarming encounter left the child visibly distressed and in pain, prompting swift intervention by a man, likely the dog’s owner, to remove the canine from the lift.
Following the attack, the girl was seen holding her arm and writhing in pain, underscoring the severity of the incident. The incident, which occurred on May 3 but came to light only recently, has garnered widespread attention on social media platforms, raising concerns over pet safety protocols in residential complexes.
This incident comes on the heels of another disturbing attack in Chennai, where a five-year-old girl sustained serious injuries from pet Rottweiler dogs in a park. These incidents underscore the pressing need for heightened vigilance and regulation regarding pet ownership in public spaces.
The recent surge in dog attacks has prompted the Central government to consider recommendations for banning certain dog breeds, including Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and American Bulldogs, deemed to pose significant risks. This response reflects growing concerns over the escalating number of severe and fatal dog attacks attributed to breeds categorized as “dangerous.”
