Authorities say a 3-year-old girl is recovering after being attacked by a dog at a Southern California home used as a day care center. Riverside County officials say the girl suffered bite wounds to her face, arms and stomach area and received 180 stitches after the attack April 2 in Hemet.
The girl's mother said the child was dragged outside during the attack, the release said. The mom was not at the home during the attack and it wasn't known if any children were there.
The 2-year-old pit bull mix, Bruno, remains in a secluded kennel at a shelter, the Southern California News Group reported Friday. Unless its owner requests a post-seizure hearing, the dog will likely be euthanized “in the interest of public safety,” Welsh said.“I spoke to the family a few days ago and she was in surprisingly good spirits,” Huennekens said Wednesday.
