Dad and mum arrested as dog mauls boy, 2, to de@th

A two-year-old boy has d!ed after being attacked by a pitbull on a Greek Island. The horrific incident unfolded in a village on the popular holiday hotspot of Zakynthos, shortly after the toddler and his parents had returned from a shopping trip. The boy was allegedly attacked by the dog as he entered the property, suffering severe injuries to his head and neck. Despite being rushed to the General Hospital of Zakynthos, doctors were unable to save him. According to Greek news outlet Ekathimerini, the dog was a stray that the family had taken in just a few weeks earlier after finding it near their home. The family collected it to take care of it until a foster parent could be found for adoption. In the wake of the tragedy, the boy’s parents, including his British mum, were arrested on suspicion of m@nslaughter by negligence, as is standard procedure under Greek law when a child dis in potentially unsafe conditions at home. They have since been released pending the outcome of the investigation, as ordered by a prosecutor.The post Dad and mum arrested as dog mauls boy, 2, to de@th appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
