A newborn infant who was allegedly attacked by a dog as she slept is being mourned by her family in New York City.

According to reports, the mother of the child discovered the family’s 6-week-old German shepherd-pit bull mix gnawing on the baby’s face when she woke up at 6:30 a.m.

Unfortunately, the baby passed away from her wounds after the family contacted 911 for assistance.

The mother was yelling when emergency personnel arrived at the unnamed family’s residence, according to the New York Post.
