SANTIAGO, DR – A pitbull attacked a three-year-old child, whom her parents allowed her to play with the dog.
She is being attended at the children’s hospital Arturo Grullon in Santiago and according to the director of the center, Rosa Morel, the child presents significant lacerations in the occipital and parietal bones, causing the skull to be exposed.
The child resides in the municipality of Villa Gonzalez, Santiago, but the incident took place in La Vega where she was visiting an uncle.
It is the third registered case where a pit bull has attacked a minor of age in the Central Cibao.
Some years ago a pit bull killed a girl in Hoya del Caimito, sector of Santiago. And in retaliation, the girl’s relatives and neighbors burned the dog alive – Behavior that was rejected by international organizations that defend the rights of animals.
Although the child is stable, doctors explained that the care process will be long because it requires several surgeries and a graft is also required.
The baby also needs blood transfusions since she has lost a large amount of blood and therefore presents anemia, according to Dr. Morel.
At the request of the child’s parents, her name is kept anonymous.
