Hi all,
I am curious, does the use of a cane provide any defense in the case of
dog attacks? In addition, do we get anti-dog sprays etc that we could wear
to repel dogs? I have seen a number of such products on amazon.com but
most appear to be for spraying around areas such as gardens so that dogs
do not come.
I have heard of people using dog whistles to repel but have not had the
opportunity to research this.

This is indeed a menace. Dogs and monkeys have been in recent times
playing havoc in many parts of our country. Be it in residencial colonies,
school/college campuses, temples and so on. Animal lovers have over the
years blocked any kind of action. In JNU and Du there are a number of
visually impaired students who have been attacked by dogs. The authorities
do nothing about this .

Physically-challenged girl mauled to death by dogs
Special Correspondent
In a gruesome incident, a 17-year-old mentally and
physically-challenged girl was mauled to death by a pack of six stray
dogs at Kotha Venkojipalem in the city on Monday morning. The deceased
was identified as Mary alias Nookaratnam, daughter of Appala Reddy and
Lakshmi.
Apart from being mentally and physically challenged, she was both
speech and hearing impaired. Because of all the illness, the girl was
very thin, just about three-feet tall and was totally immobile.
While her father works as a security guard, mother adds to the family
income by serving as a domestic help. It was the duty of the couple to
feed the girl in the morning and leave her in a makeshift cradle in
the verandah of their hut, before going to work.
At about 10.30 a.m. on Monday, six stray dogs attacked and mauled her
to death. The pathetic thing was that she was neither able to fight
back nor scream for help. They even pulled her down from the cradle
and tried to drag her into the bushes, adjoining the hutment.
According to a neighbour, Ramalakshmi, “Whenever, she would feel
hungry, the girl would cry. When I heard her cry, I thought that she
was hungry. But when it continued for some time, I came and out and
saw six dogs dragging her away. I tried to chase the dogs away, but
they attacked me also. I called for help, and a few others joined in
chasing the dogs away. But by that time Mary was dead and her body was
torn open at various places.”
According to Appalanaidu, a neighbour, the dog menace has increased in
the hutment located on the hill slopes after GVMC let loose some dogs
in the neighbouring cremation ground, about a month ago. “The dogs
returned to lick the blood even after the body was taken away by the
police for post-mortem. We are afraid, since we have small children,”
he said.
