PALM RIVER-CLAIR MEL CITY, Fla. — The 8-year-old girl bitten by a Staffordshire Terrier on Mother’s Day weekened in Progress Village, was discharged from Tampa General Hospital Monday.
Looking at the 2-year-old, male American Staffordshire Terrier named “Little Buck” it’s hard to imagine he’s capable of inflicting serious injures on anyone. But that’s what Hillsborough Animal Services investigators say happened at a home in Progress Village after a hug turned into tragedy.
Hillsborough Fire Rescue crews arrived to find 8-year-old Sade Carter bitten in the head and face. “It appears that the child was at the house, wasn’t playing with the dog or doing anything to the dog, the dog just all of the sudden, just attacked her,” said Ronnie Rivera with Hillsborough Fire Rescue.
