Guard Dog Chews Baby's Genitals

A HORRIFYING incident occurred on a farm at Tiadene, a village near Seikwa in the Brong Ahafo Region at the weekend, when a dog chewed off the genitals of a three-month-old baby boy. The baby died later on the way to a health facility.
Mr Yaw Barning, a resident of the area and close associate of the baby’s father, told The Mirror that the baby was asleep under a shed on the farm when the incident occurred.
He said while the baby was asleep, his father, Mr Dompala Dagarti, made the dog to lie beside it to protect it while he did some work on the farm.
Mr Barning said while Mr Dagarti was working on the farm, he heard the shrill cry of the baby and rushed to the area only to find it in a pool of blood with the dog eating the last portions of the genitals.
While rushing the baby to the clinic, it died on the way.
The baby has since been buried.
