A hunting dog recently rescued a day-old baby boy in Bafoussam, Western Province of Cameroon, after the mother buried it in a shallow grave in a fallen bush.
In effect, the child was instantly named Dieudonne (God’s gift) meaning that he will survive adversity. The baby’s luck came immediately when a hunter accompanied by his dog also went to farm. While he was occupied digging a rat mole, his dog sniffed round and discovered the baby’s grave and instantly scratched the surface. And behold there emerged the child which
the hunter immediately pick up and rushed back to town for medical attention. The child had just been born earlier that night.
After cleaning it, the child was found to weight 3.5kg. Nurses at the Bafoussam Provincial Hospital that attended to the baby said they were confident that his life was in no danger.
Amazingly, officials at the Bafoussam Provincial Hospital where the child has taken up residence denied any press photographs of the child.
Meantime, authorities have declared a manhunt for the mother of the child who had not been found by the time I was writing this story
It should be noted here that abandonment of babies is quite common in Cameroon in these times of massive unemployment in the country. Thus, mothers prefer to do away with pregnancy or baby immediately after birth due to poverty.
