Pit Bull Kills VA Toddler Over The Weekend


Posted on Sep 29, 2009

A pit bull mauled a 23-month-old child to death in Orange County, VA this weekend.  The child went outside to where the family's pit bull was tied up without being seen by her mother.  After family members noticed the child's absence, they began searching for her; they found her next to the tied up dog, wounds covering her body.  She was taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center where she was pronounced dead several hours after being attacked.  The pit bull, which had lived with the family for ten years, was euthanized by animal control officers Sunday night.  Orange County Sheriff Mark Amos would not say whether charges would be filed, and did not divulge how long the child was out of the mother's sight.
