Well, In Crawford, The Dog Would Be Put To Guarding The Horses And The Mother Would Be On Death Row For Negligence
Toddler Ripped From Mom's Arms, Mauled By Dog
Species of dogs not extinct ... yet: doberman, pit bull, rottweiler
Glendale Police are investigating the death of a 16-month-old girl who was torn from her mother's arms and mauled by a rottweiler.
The 28-year-old mother suffered bites to her arms and upper body as she tried to hold onto her daughter.
The child was being held as her mother watered the lawn in the front yard of her parent's home.
The dog lunged at them, snatched the girl and pulled her up a driveway, biting her, authorities said.
"I can only imagine what it was like for the firefighters, police officers and the crime scene investigators. They say it was one of the most horrific things they have ever seen," Sgt. Tom Lorenz, with the North Glendale Police, said.
The attack by the 150 pound male dog named Enano apparently was unprovoked.
The fate of the dog has yet to be determined.
