CALEDONIA - The Caledonia Police Department says that a 15-month-old child has been hospitalized with severe facial tears, puncture wounds and missing teeth after being attacked by a pit bull.
The attack happened Wednesday night at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday at a home on the 3400 block of Ivy Lane.
According to police, the child was sitting on the floor when the pit bull, known as Mary Jane, attacked.
The dog reportedly bit the child so she could get a cookie from the child's mouth.
A humane society in Racine has seized the dog. Her owner says she wants the dog euthanized.
No one was initially arrested, but a criminal investigation is ongoing.

Myth: Pit Bulls have been called the Nanny Dog
Truth: This myth was started by statements made by two people. Mrs. Lilian Rant, President, Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of America, magazine editor said they are referred to as a nursemaid dog in an interview published in the New York Times in 1971. Second in 1987 Toronto Star article where Breeder Kathy Thomas, president of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Association said “In England, our Staffies were called the nanny-dog”. No sources, citations or evidence just two biased people heavily invested in trying to change the image of Pit Bulls made these statements and started this whole myth.
So facts actually hurt your feelings?
