Baby killed by family’s pet Chow

A baby in Mesa, Arizona died from severe bite wounds that police said were inflicted Wednesday night by the family dog, a Chow/golden retriever mix, the Arizona Republic reported.

Police said the mother of the 2-week-old girl placed the child in a bassinet so she could use the restroom. When she returned, the infant had severe bites on her head.

By the time paramedics arrived the baby was unresponsive and pronounced dead.

The infant’s father is a Mesa police officer and the mother is a Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community officer. The dog was euthanized Thursday after the family signed off on the procedure.
