Will the real pit bull please stand up? A dog bit off a four-your-old girl’s nose and a battle to determine which dog (or should we say pit bull) attacked her is underway. Tracy Crisler owns the home where the dog bite occurred and insists that her pit bull Sierra would have not have attacked the girl as she visits the home on a regular basis. Crisler further places the blame for the dog bite attack on a neighbor’s pit bull named Coffee. The neighbor, Sonia Ocampo, argues that her dog Coffee is not aggressive and not guilty of the dog attack – so a neighborly feud begins. However, police believe they have the right dog and have cited Tracy Crisler for the attack.

MSNBC has reported that a family dog grabbed a three day old newborn from his crib and drug the baby approximately 200 yards into the woods away from the baby’s home. The newborn is in critical condition with bruises and dog bites where the dog grabbed him.

The Parrish Law Firm wants to remind everyone that small children should not be left unsupervised with a dog as they are often targets of dog bite attacks. Even when a dog is normally docile and familiar with the child, a dog may misinterpret a child’s play and will react instinctively by attacking.
