The girl, identified as Nur Haira Watikah Mohammad Hamizi, was attacked at around 7 a.m. while outside the house.
The dogs reportedly mauled her, leaving her with serious injuries to her head and face. She was rushed to hospital and remains in critical condition, according to reports.
Doctors subsequently placed the toddler in an induced coma as she receives intensive medical treatment for her injuries.
Police launch investigation
Malaysian police have opened investigations into the incident following the attack.
Authorities are examining the circumstances surrounding the dogs and how the child came to be attacked near her grandmother’s home. Police have reportedly opened two investigation papers in connection with the case.
The dogs involved have been described in reports as stray dogs, although authorities are still investigating the circumstances of the attack.
Community concern over stray dogs

For the family, however, the immediate priority remains the toddler’s survival and recovery as she continues to receive treatment in intensive care.
