Caught on camera: Two students narrowly escape pack of stray dogs in Kerala's Kannur

It was a narrow escape for two students in Kerala's Kannaur who were chased by a pack of stray dogs.

The attack, which was caught on a CCTV camera, came to light on Monday. The incident reportedly took place on September 8.

In the video, two boys can be seen running for their lives. They frantically ran for a distance and managed to get inside a house and close the gate just in time to escape the dogs. The dogs then gave up the chase and went back.


All this happened during broad daylight.

In the same video, the dogs can be seen attacking a woman at night. No information was available on what happened to that woman.

The video has now gone viral on social networks.



Kerala is lately seeing an increase in dog attacks.

Earlier today, a video surfaced showing a seven-year-old being viciously attacked by a stray dog in Kozhikode.

In the video, the stray dog can be seen leaping onto the victim, as he cycles in a narrow street. The dog then proceeds to pounce on the boy, latching onto his leg and attacking him repeatedly. The same canine reportedly attacked a 40-year-old earlier.

These stray dog incidents came amid reports of pet dog attacks in Mumbai and Delhi NCR. In one incident, a kid was attacked inside a life while the owner looked on. In another incident, a pitbull mauled a teenager who needed 150 stitches later. A Zomato delivery boy's private parts were bitten by a German Shepherd in another incident when he was leaving the lift.

Reportedly, many housing societies in Noida have come out with guidelines for pet owners in view of the rising attacks.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has asked residents to get their pets registered, warning that action will be taken in case of non-compliance.
