The woman tries to run away but the relentless beasts run after her and at one point she stumbles and falls down on the road as the dogs try to maul her. Luckily, she manages to get to her feet and finally escapes the bone-chilling encounter which could very well have turned fatal for her if not for the steely resolve she displayed.

In the CCTV video shared on Saturday, the woman’s husband expressed relief that his wife was able to escape the attack by strays, but appealed citizens feed street dogs outside their residential premises so that they do not attack residents.

A senior official of Manikonda municipality told news agency PTI that the body has a tie-up with animal welfare organisation Blue Cross, which caught a large number of dogs on Saturday and Sunday for vaccination and sterilisation, adding that the drive would continue.
