Adorable PHOTOS of Baby Found by a Dog in a Carrier Bag After She was Abandoned in a Park

The little baby was found abandoned inside a carrier bag in a park on the 31st of October by a dog. The first pictures of a newborn baby have been released.

The little girl was nicknamed 'Baby Jade' after the dog which discovered her crying in the bushes, she is believed to be just a day or two old, and still had the umbilical cord attached.

The baby was found by Roger Wilday as he was walking his dog Jade through a community park in the Stechford area of Birmingham in the afternoon. See adorable pictures after the cut...

The 68-year-old was led to the newborn by his pet, who refused to leave the child's side until Mr Wilday came to investigate.

'Jade has grown up with children around her, she loves babies and when she found the baby in the bushes she wouldn't leave until she knew I had seen it,' the retired engineer said.

'She is a hero dog. There was no-one else in the park at the time and it was very cold. If it wasn't for Jade that baby could have been dead.

'I always take her to the park and we were out walking - she was off the lead and headed off towards the bushes. She wouldn't come back when I called her and so I had to go over, and I saw the bag and then I heard a baby cry.

'I reached down to look at the bag closer and I saw there was a baby inside wrapped in a light blue blanket. I dialled 999 and picked the baby up, and within a minute the police and ambulance were here.

'She was a tiny little thing, you could tell she must have been recently born, she was still warm so I don't think she had been there long.'

Baby Jade, who weighs around 6lbs, is currently being treated in Birmingham Heartlands Hospital.

The towel and carrier bag which she was wrapped in have been sent for forensic testing, while officers hope that DNA tests will help them identify her parents.

Birmingham East Chief Inspector Ian Green said: 'It is fantastic news that baby Jade is recovering well in hospital.

'I'm told she's very alert and a contented, happy baby. She's doing well and should make a full recovery over the next couple of days - but of course what she really needs is to be in her mother's arms.

'I'd urge Jade's mum to make contact with us on the 101 police number so we can reunite them and get her medical attention and emotional support.'

He added: 'Paediatricians have confirmed the baby was lucky to be found when she was as even just a few more hours exposed to the elements could have had fatal consequences.

'Thankfully, we now know she's safe and well - and our priority is very much on finding her mum to ensure her safety and to provide whatever support she needs.
