The 18-month-old girl wandered away from a teenager responsible for watching her when the blood-thirsty dog went after her inside the Second Avenue home in Newark.
Locals were left stunned by the gruesome attack. 'They tell me today that these people have a 18-month-old baby that was ripped apart by a pit bull or ferocious dog,' neighbor Kawhon Jahyne told the station.
Animal Control removed the pit bull along with one other from the home. Detectives are investigating if the other pooch was also involved, according to the ABC 7.
The Essex County prosecutor's office stated the girl succumbed to her injuries after suffering 'horrific and serious injuries from an apparent canine attack.'
