The bite-should be on food, not on baby
As I researched on the content of this story, I was reminded of a story that happened several years ago, at our village in Bungoma. That fateful morning, my two younger sisters had been sent to the shops to buy breakfast when they spotted a wild dog walking by the roadside. In an attempt to…
