A 2.5-year-old girl was attacked by a pit bull inside her home and was seriously injured. The incident happened in an area near Milan, when the girl was playing with the dog together with her twin sister and her young aunt.
Suddenly, the pit bull attacked her and her 25-year-old aunt tried her best to protect her. She managed to lock the two children in the bathroom and, to escape alone, she went out to the first floor balcony and climbed onto the natural gas pipe.
The child’s life is not in danger
The neighbors called the firefighters, who broke down the door and entered the apartment. The girl was taken to hospital with serious injuries to her face and hands, but doctors said her life was not in danger. The dog is now in the clinics of the veterinary service of the municipality of Sesto San Giovanni, which must make the relevant decisions.
