A 1-month-old baby girl was tragically killed when the family’s puppy chewed the infant’s face as her mom and stepdad slept in Queens early Tuesday, cops and sources said.
The baby’s mother called 911 just after 6:30 a.m. to report that her newborn was lying between the couple inside the apartment within NYCHA’s Queensbridge Houses when the pair awoke to find the 6-week-old German shepherd, pit bull mix gnawing on the baby’s face, law enforcement sources said.
EMS workers responded to the unit on 12th Street near 41st Avenue, but the baby could not be saved, cops said...
“She told me she woke up and the dog was eating the baby!” the mom’s female friend told The Post hours later. “Chewing on the baby’s face!”
“I said, ‘Y’all laying right next to the baby?! How the f–k do not hear the baby cry?!” the woman said. “She didn’t have that, she just kept saying, ‘we was laying right there! We was laying right there’!”

After reading more about this - a 6 week old dog isn’t going to maul anyone. I thought it was a 6 month old dog. They killed the child by willful neglect.
Ok, just saw a news tv clip about it, and that IS the puppy. Indeed a very very young puppy (too young, legally).
And, I’m pleased to declare, NOT at all a German Shepherd. Not a whit. That’s just pit-bull terrier, perhaps mixed, but pure PBT.
