The Times of India reports that school teacher Ulhas Chowdhury was walking in his neighborhood in West Bengal, India, when he suddenly heard a baby crying in some nearby shrubs.

When he peeked into the bushes, he saw four stray dogs standing around a newborn girl, who was wrapped in a pink cloth.

Chowdhury told his neighbor, who brought the baby some milk.

"She stopped crying after having that," Chowdhury told the Times of India. "Had it not been for the dogs, we would probably have lost the baby. We are all grateful to them."
