According to CCTV footage, a few stray dogs first approach the family. The couple slows down, unsure of what to do. Moments later, more dogs rush in. Soon, the family is encircled by a barking pack.
The child appears visibly frightened. The parents hesitate but stay alert. The tension rises with every second.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported. The Belagavi incident ended safely. But the viral video is a reminder. Not every encounter may end the same way.
