Authorities state a dog has actually fatally assaulted a 9-month-old child and seriously hurt the kid’s grandma at an Iowa home
WATERLOO, Iowa — A dog has actually fatally assaulted a 9-month-old child and seriously hurt the kid’s grandma at an Iowa home, authorities state.
Waterloo cops Capt. Jason Feaker said that the 49-year-old grandma was seeing the child at the kid’s home Thursday early morning when the family animal, a neutered boxer/hound mix, assaulted. He said the grandma was hurt attempting to step in.
Patrol officers and other emergency situation responders went to the home, where the child was stated dead. The grandma was hurried to a regional medical facility and after that flown to the bigger University of Iowa Hospital, cops said. Neither of their names have actually been launched.
Feaker said the dog has actually been euthanized, and its remains sent to Iowa State University for more screening.
