3-year-old girl mauled to death by ‘vicious’ dogs at Ohio home: ‘I just woke up and my daughter is dead’
A 3-year-oldš§ø girl was found by her father mauled to death by 100-pound dogs in their Cincinnati, Ohio home two days after Christmas, authorities said.
Kingsley Wright died from a dog attack on Dec. 27, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office — while her father slept on the couch.
āI just woke up and my daughter is dead. Thereās blood everywhere, I donāt know what happened,ā the frantic father said in a call to 911 dispš¹atchers, . āI donāt understand what went on.ā
The father said that his dogs were locked up š„in cageās while he napped.
āTheyāre in the cage, thatās why Iām like, āDid any of my pets attack her or something,ā the father told authorities in a calą·“l, according to the outlet.
Gina Smith, Kingsleyās mother, expressed outrage and disbelief that her daughteź§r was left around giant dogs when she was left in her fatherās care.
āI would have not lšøeft my baby around vicious dogs. Why āwould I do that,ā she .
āThose kinds of dogs are over 100 pounds, so did they just sit on her and then start mauling on her? Did they crush her? And why?,ā Josh Justiš ce, Smithās boyfriend told the outlet.
The breeds of the dogs in question are not known.
Those animals were taken into custody at the scene by animal control and are being held in a state-mandašted ten-day quarantine in Cincinnati Animal CARE.
Smith wants answers as to how her daš ughter could hāave been mauled to death if the dogs truly were locked in cages.
