Toddler Mauled By 7 Dogs Died

Bryan County Sheriff Clyde Smith told the Savannah Morning News that a 21-month-old girl had been mauled and killed by 7 dogs on Wednesday night.

Police say the girl’s grandmother was sleeping when she was awakened by a commotion in the yard. She looked out her window and saw the attack, but was not in time to save the child.

The dogs, which belonged to the child’s family, were pit bulls and pit bull mixes. They have been euthanized by Bryan County Animal Control.

Authorities have not released the child’s identity.
