Another child was hospitalized Sunday after she was the victim of a dog attack in Fort Lauderdale, according to local media.
The girl, 2, was mauled by a rottweiler before 8:15 p.m. at a home near the 1700 block of Southwest 24th Street. Emergency responders were called out to the property after receiving 911 calls for the girl’s “numerous injuries,” according to reporting from The Miami Herald.
She was taken to Broward Health Medical Center’s trauma department by emergency personnel.
An 8-year-old boy was airlifted to the hospital after he was attacked by a Pitbull on Wednesday.
The boy’s injuries are severe but do not appear to be life-threatening, according to reporting from Local 10 News.
First responders were called out to a home along the 5500 block of Lakewood Circle South around 11:30 a.m. The boy was locked inside a bathroom, and first responders had to force their way into the home through a window where they found at least two Pitbulls.
A 6-month-old baby girl in Texas was killed after her family’s dog attacked her earlier this month.
The attack happened on Tuesday, April 1 just before 4 p.m. at an apartment complex in Baytown, a city that is about a 30-mile drive east of Downtown Houston. The dog involved is allegedly a 1-year-old red-collared pit bull mix who animal control has already taken custody of along with another pit bull mix. Since the attack, the family has agreed to sign a surrender order, which would allow the city to euthanize the dog, according to multiple media outlets.
Only the red-collared pit bull was involved in the attack. The second dog was inside a kennel at the time of the incident.
