Reacting to the video footage, the woman’s husband expressed deep concern over the menace of street dogs and appealed to citizens not to feed them, suggesting that such feeding encourages the dogs to gather in residential areas. He emphasized that while his family loves dogs and owns two pets themselves, the unchecked presence of stray dogs poses a serious threat to public safety.

“My wife went for a walk at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. She was brutally attacked by many dogs. This is not just our problem, everyone needs to consider it,” he stated.

He continued, “If you love dogs, adopt them and care for them in your homes. But feeding street dogs leads to situations like this. My wife almost lost her life in this attack. Imagine if it was someone elderly or a child. Would they have survived? Please think and take action. Today it happened to us, tomorrow it could happen near your home.”

Authorities in Manikonda reported that they have collaborated with Blue Cross, a partner organization, to capture nine dogs from the area for sterilization and vaccination at an animal care facility. Following the procedures, the dogs will be returned to the streets.
