“When I was out to get drugs, I heard a sound from behind and by the time I turned around to check, a dog jumped on me from behind.
“It dragged the baby off my back and was attacking her. I ran around calling for help but no one was around to help rescue her. I threw stone at the dog to no avail, even site workers were not around to help me.
