"Baby dies after being mauled by family dog "

VALINDA, (CA) Oct. 8 – A 5-week-old baby girl, left unattended for a short time, was mauled to death last night by the family’s Pomeranian dog.
AN UNCLE was babysitting the newborn while her parents were out of the country, said Sgt. James Beaumon of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. He left the infant on a bed unattended while he went to the kitchen to prepare a bottle for her. When he returned, he found the dog holding the victim by the head, Beaumon said. The uncle rescued the child from the dog’s mouth and called for help. The baby was taken to a local hospital where she died from her injuries, said Deputy Valentine Rosario of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. The name of the child has not been released due to age and pending parental notification, Rosario said.
