The 8-month-old child was in the care of a grandmother during Wednesday’s attack outside the home in the 2400 block of Kingston Drive, police said
She was the best thing to ever happen to me," Brenda Villasin told reporters about her daughter, Liana Valino. “She was my world.”
Villasin said before she goes to work, she drops off her daughter at the grandmother's home. "Nobody wakes up in the morning and thinks they are going to lose the person they love," Villasin said, according to WPLG-Ch. 10.
The baby was bitten about 11:30 a.m. when “the child was in a bedroom and was in a bouncy chair,” Miramar Police Officer Yessenia Diaz said.
The male pit bull was 3 or 4 years old and was raised by the family since it was a puppy, Diaz said. Its sibling and mother, both pit bulls, also are kept by the family.
Early Wednesday afternoon, all three dogs were removed from the property. "I don't know what the outcome will be of the dog [suspected in the attack],” Diaz said.
Jackie Knapp, of New Jersey, was visiting her sister, Ivelisse Machado, who lives down the street from where the baby was attacked.
