Stray dog proves guardian for Angel

A NEWBORN baby dumped in a Kenyan forest was miraculously saved by a stray dog which carried her across a busy road and through a barbed-wire fence to a shed where she was eventually discovered with a litter of pups.

The baby girl has been named ‘Angel’ by hospital workers. She was clad in a ragged shirt and wrapped in a plastic bag when the dog picked her up last Friday in the Ngong Forest on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

“When the dog picked up the baby in a dirty bag, it came and dropped her behind the wooden building where the dog has its puppies,” a witness said.
