DOVER TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) – Authorities in Ohio say a pit bull fatally attacked a 1-year-old girl last week.
According to Sheriff Orvis Campbell, deputies were called to a home regarding a dog attack.
Campbell said in an initial 911 call, dispatchers couldn’t hear anyone, but they eventually connected with the mother during a second call, who said the family dog had killed her baby.
Family members identified the girl as Blakely Blosser.
Authorities said she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The mother told deputies she was walking inside the home with the child when the dog attack happened.
Deputies said they observed defensive wounds on the mother, who said she tried to stop the attack.
According to Campbell, the mother told them that the dog did not have a history of attacking anyone but had shown signs of aggression to other dogs …
[EDITOR’S NOTE: We hear the same excuse every time another pit bill mauls another toddler to death. The first sign of an aggressive pit bull is often a dead child. Anyone who keeps a pit bull in proximity of a child is guilty of child endangerment. – HEADLINE HEALTH]
