Fresno (CA) Police received a call Monday morning of a dog biting an infant. Investigators say the child, only three days old, had been left on the couch while the mother went to the restroom.
Police say one door had been left open to let in cool air, and that the mother believed her brother’s shar pei pitbull mix dogs were chained up in the back yard. Detectives say when the mother came back from the restroom, one of the dogs had come into the house and attacked the infant.
The baby was taken to the hospital where the child died.
It has been classified as an accident and police do not anticipate filing charges.
