PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a pit bull that attacked a 3-year-old girl in a Plattsmouth home will be euthanized.
The animal is in quarantine at a local animal shelter and will be euthanized
Plattsmouth police say the girl was trying to hug the dog when it bit her three times in the face Friday, causing serious injuries that required hospitalization. Her injuries are not life threatening. The girl has since been released and is at home recovering.
The dog’s owner was cited for child neglect. Police say it’s the second time the dog has bitten a child in the past six months.
