Toddler Dies After Attack By Family Dog

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― A one-year-old girl from Erie died at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh after her family's dog mauled her yesterday morning; now officials are trying to figure out what prompted the English Sheepdog mix to attack the toddler.

Officials say Addison Sonney was in a cemetery in Millcreek Township where her father works as a caretaker when the dog attacked her early Thursday.

Sonney was flown via medical helicopter to Children's Hospital where she later died.

Her mother is hospitalized in Erie where she's being treated for injuries sustained while trying to protect the little girl.

Police shot and killed the dog after it wandered into a neighborhood.

Authorities say the dog will be tested for rabies.
