[A 17-month-old girl has died after
being attacked by a dog in her home.
The toddler died in hospital after the
attack in Bidston Avenue, in the Blackbrook area
of St Helens, at about 15:50 GMT on Monday.
Merseyside Police said her
"absolutely devastated" family had
only bought the dog a week ago.

Officers will carry out tests on the dog,
which was killed by police,
to see if it was an illegal breed,
as well as trying to identify its previous owners.

Det Insp Lisa Milligan
said: "This is a tragic incident and our
thoughts are with the child's family at
this devastating time.]


This is Tragic
reports are saying it was a pit bull type dog.
