JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 6-year-old girl attacked by a dog Sunday morning has died, according to her father.

Police said Jaelah Smith was attacked by a dog the family was pet sitting in their Arlington home.

In a message to News4Jax, Devin Holcomb wrote:

"Unfortunately my princess is no longer with us. I would like for you guys to keep my family in your prayers"

Police and firefighters were called to a house on Herrick Drive about 10:15 a.m. Sunday by a neighbor who heard screaming and saw the girl's mother carry the girl's unconscious body outside.

“I just kept hearing somebody (yell), 'Help me, help me!'" Timothy Hightower told News4Jax. “She came out of the house and laid the baby down right there and told us to call the paramedics, and that’s what we did.”

Jaelah was taken to Memorial Hospital with what police described as “very serious, life-threatening injuries.” She was transferred to Wolfson Children's Hospital, where she later died.

Aw shucks. You flatter me far too much. I really don’t deserve such praise but thank you nonetheless.

” Oh, I understand the issue just fine, what I don’t understand is why you keep posting this nonsense when everyone in the world already knows dogs can be dangerous under certain circumstances. You have an obsession bordering on insanity. Nothing good can come from these threads that beat up dogs. Nothing.

I’m seriously wondering if you should be committed to a 90 day psychiatric hold for you own good. I’m leaning hard to toward the affirmative.”

Thank you for your opinions, and thank you for showing your colors so clearly.

I believe that we are all done now.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you're right. I would really like to see these dog beating threads end.
