2½-year-old girl recovers from pit bull attack

MERRILL - A two and half-year-old Merrill girl recovers after her family's pit bull attacked her. It happened Tuesday afternoon at the girl's house.

The Merrill Police Department says the grandmother was watching her at the time. She let the dog out to use the bathroom and feed it. The dog broke free of her hold and attacked the child apparently for no reason.

The mother says the dog bit her daughter so hard that her jaw was broken. The dog was put down by request of the family.
