Child bitten in throat by German shepherd
A 5 year old girl from Pennsylvania is in the hospital after being attacked a German Shepherd which bit her in the throat. After several hours of surgery, she is on a ventilator and will likely be in the hospital for about a month. The dog bite attack happened at a farm that the girl and her mother went to visit. The dog was roaming the property unleashed and unattended, and the girl and her mother had petted the dog several times before the attack.
After the attack, authorities determined that the dog had been involved in three other dog bite attacks, including one where the victim's ear was ripped off. After that dog bite attack, the dog owner had been ordered to keep the dog in an enclosure or to keep the dog leashed and muzzled. He did neither of this things, with tragic consequences to this little girl.
