A judge in Buffalo County has ordered that a dog be euthanized after it was involved in the death of a baby girl.
According to Buffalo County Attorney Shawn Eatherton, the dog lived with the family when it attacked the child.
Emergency personnel and officials were called to a home in the 500 block of West 14th Avenue early last Wednesday morning for an infant that was not breathing. Police officers say the girl was deceased upon their arrival.
Eatherton says an autopsy found blunt force and cranial trauma caused by the American Bulldog was the cause of the infant's death.
The dog was euthanized last Wednesday on a judge's order, according to Eatherton, and had no prior history of being aggressive.
The death has been ruled accidental.
