Thank you very much for getting back to me. It brings me some comfort that the baby could survive. Since the accident which happened a week ago now, we have not seen the dad or baby. Could this be because they think it's unsafe? Will they ever return?

Our wild arc foundation is doing an autopsy to determine cause of death but we assume now it was a dog. Our neighbours found her on their beach and said she looked thrown around were all devastated but hope we see the baby and dad again.
