shocking photos...Newborn baby mauled to death by family dogs

Police in Central California say two family dogs mauled a 3-day-old baby girl to death after her 33 year old mother left her on the couch and walked away for a few seconds. According to the Fresno Bee, Fresno Police Sgt. Dan Macias said that the girl's mother had left the door open because it was hot and she thought the dogs were tied up in the back yard.
The baby was rushed to Community Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead shortly after the attack on Monday.
The woman told police that one of the dogs was known to be aggressive.

"At this point, we believe it was an unfortunate accident," Macias told The Bee Macias says the two male dogs, which are believed to be a mix of shar-pei and pit bull are owned by the woman's 30 year old brother.

The infant, the woman and the woman's brother were said to be alone in the residence at the time of the devastating attack, police said.

The brother has since surrendered the dogs to the Central California Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

SPCA spokesman Walter Salvari said the dogs will be euthanized.

Macias says police are still investigating the case and that charges have not been ruled out.
