KOKOMO, Ind. -- A 9-year-old Howard County girl critically injured by a pit bull over the weekend died at an Indianapolis hospital on Thursday, police said.
The attack happened in the 4600 block of East County Road 200 South on Saturday, said Howard County Sheriff Marty Talbert.
The girl, Savannah Gragg, underwent surgery at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, but died Thursday afternoon.
Police said that Savannah was opening a door at the home to let the dog outside when it jumped on her and knocked her to the floor, biting her on the neck and shaking her violently.
"The child suffered a lacerated trachea, which resulted in a lack of oxygen to the brain," Talbert said in a news release Thursday evening. "Doctors determined the child was brain dead shortly after 3:30 p.m. Thursday."
Family members told police that the dog had never shown aggression before.

Okay then...chow down!
Thank you. :)
[dang dog looks like a Pez dispenser!]
Why do I get the weird feeling you’ll be heading off to Red Lobster tonight?...;-D
No Red Lobster near me, but there’s always the seafood section of Shaw’s market. :) And it is Friday.
Great, now I crave Pez...
I just know there’s claws and tails in your future, however you come by them.
[sheesh....now I want one and I’m not much for them... more into shrimp...but I *think* we have a Red Lobster hereabouts]
Then you told everyone on one of the threads that I was trying to suck up to you because I emailed you about my sadness at having to put down my dog. But you forgot to mention in your post that you also emailed me back, and thats how I know about your dobie's death that touched you so much..I don't need any more posts from the likes of you..You are neither informative or interesting, but you sure can take up space with your own opinion of yourself and your so called knowledge.. Salamander is a good name for you, they are slimy little critters.
It would be a good idea for you to skip any posts to me from now on.....your posts are such a bore..
In case you didn't understand, don't post to me as I find your posts such a bore and your knowledgeable only in your own mind...
Something like *the guy is a legend in his own mind* kind of way.
Agreed, most (not all) pit bull owners in San Antonio are human scum. It’s their way of showing how bad they are, I suppose. Any wonder that the pit is the dog of choice of rappers? Just another way to show their street cred. Too bad an occasional child has to have their face eaten off.
That last one might be a bit too much. :)
Great one.......
Ya had me on the hook right up to the end.
*ick*
[and somewhere, somebody’s ~probably~ made it]....;]

“being used as a bracing post for a dog gnawing a cow hoof”
Been there. Mine love those things along with pigs ears and “bully sticks.”
I never did like lizards...or slimy salamanders
Maine this time of year must be beautiful...have a great time.....(but I will miss your input on these insightful pit lovers..) Some do take up lots of space with lots of words that no one reads..the hand gets tired from scrolling past them.....LOL
Shrimp jam!
LOLOLOL!
