A three-day old baby girl was killed in a dog attack in Fresno (CA) on Monday (06-27).
The 33-year old mother had taken the baby to her brother’s home around midnight. The brother owns two male pit-bull mixes, one of which was known to be aggressive. The woman asserts that she thought the dogs were chained up in the back yard so she left the back door opened and left the girl unattended for “a few seconds.” (By the way it is illegal to chain dogs for extended periods of time in California.)
The dogs came into the house about 12:30 a. m. and attacked the baby. The little girl died shortly after at a local hospital.
The dogs were surrendered to the local SPCA which will euthanize them. The matter is still under investigation but for now the cops are saying it appears to be an accident. At the time of the attack the woman, her 30-year old brother and the baby were the only people in the house.
