The fact they're checking to see if it was an illegal breed means it most likely was, ie Pit Bull. And yeah I agree with most being said that it's absolutely ludicrous to bring an adult dog into your home with a toddler. A tragedy so easily avoidable. Bad, irresponsible parenting.

Where on earth were the parents?? Leaving a new, adult, dangerous dog (and lets face it 99.9% of the time it's not the dog's fault) with a toddler? Even my last dog, i would NEVER leave him alone around my daughter when she was little, even though he was nothing but friendly and loved kids. Sorry but the parents really need to be held account on this one. It's a massive, fatal case of child neglect.
