What kind of dog lover are you? This is the high time to train your children . Please share so that every mother trains the child
Those who have gone through the pain may relate and those who keep them as their children may get offended. I do not generally write anything on these " viral and burning issues" but today I am posting this after 5 stray dogs in our own street chased two school going kids just because they were running to the school . Both kids got bruised and so frightened , although the dogs did not bite them but left a trauma in their minds forever. Sometimes kids get scratches from the dogs and they hide this from their parents as treatment involves injections which kids fear. I am myself a dog bite victim during my childhood and I can never forget the pain I went through while getting those 14 injections into my tummy. Later the injections failed and I went through a lot of procedure.
If you search for the news you will find how a boy lost his life recently because of rabies and parents were helplessly watching. According to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), India reported 54 suspected human rabies deaths due to dog bites in 2024. This figure represents a slight increase from the 50 rabies deaths recorded in 2023. While these are the official figures, some activists suggest the actual number of rabies-related deaths might be higher, and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that India experiences 18,000-20,000 rabies deaths annually. A recent Lancet study estimated that approximately 5,700 deaths occur each year due to rabies in India.
Brijesh Solanki, a 22-year-old state-level Kabaddi player from Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, tragically lost his life to rabies in July 2025.
What is important is that Brijesh was bitten by a stray puppy he rescued from a drain, which later turned out to be rabid.
One of the most recent cases involved a 6-year-old girl named Chhavi Sharma from Delhi, who passed away in late July 2025 after being bitten by a stray dog. Her family alleges official apathy and delays in treatment at multiple hospitals contributed to her death.
In May 2025, a 7-year-old girl named Niya Faisal and a 6-year-old named Ziya Faris both died in Kerala, also after receiving rabies vaccinations. Niya's mother reported the presence of stray dogs near their house due to improper garbage disposal. Additionally, an unnamed 14-year-old boy died in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh in July 2025 despite taking anti-rabies injections and undergoing medical treatment.
Today I am posting this for awareness, i am neither a dog lover and nor a hater. God has created a dog because of a reason. We all should live in harmony on this planet earth. Dogs are capable enough to find their food , but we humans are overfeeding them to overcome our Mangal dosh etc. In our street the dogs are fed multiple times by multiple people on Tuesday, Saturday etc and they literally vomit 🤢 as obviously they are being overfed . They would run and chase anyone who carries Food in Packets .
This is not their fault , this menace too done by human , raised their expectations.
I would like to wind up here that please train your children if they have been scratched by a dog or even a puppy , then inform parents and not to hide. This is the only agenda of today's post, nothing else. We can expect nothing from such Animal lovers who don't cry over the animals getting slaughtered for the food of their favorite dogs.

Unfortunately there is no food which can treat Rabies at home . Moreover, Vaccination and Medications too don't work sometimes.
