Stray dog spotted carrying a dead new born baby [Disturbing pictures]

The viral picture shows the animal carrying the lifeless baby and trying to hide in bushes on a busy street as it weaves between a passing car and motorbike.

After efforts by eyewitnesses to get the female dog to release the baby in its mouth, the dog discarded in the middle of the street and ran away.

The age and sex of the baby remains unknown.

This is not the first time this has happened. Some months back in Oman, another dog was pictured carrying a newborn baby boy in its mouth.

The newborn still had its umbilical cord attached and miraculously survived the horrific ordeal. Mirror UK reported.
