An Ohio infant was killed by one of her family’s three pit bulls, her parents said on social media.
“I will never understand why!!!” mother Mackenzie Copley wrote on Facebook Saturday, posting pictures of her 7-month-old daughter cuddling with the family dogs.
“I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” she wrote.
The father, Kameron Turner, also took to social media to express his grief.
“Life is so not fair,” Turner wrote. “How can I continue living without her.”
The baby, Elizah Turner, was described as never without a smile.
“Elizah’s face would light up the room and her laugh was contagious,” her obituary reads.
The exact circumstances of the fatal incident were unclear.
Elizah Turner was bitten by one of the family’s dogs, according to police, who noted the situation escalated quickly.
No other details were made public. It’s unclear which of the family’s three dogs bit the child.
Franklin County Animal Control took the three dogs after the tragedy and will decide what happens to them after an investigation.
Columbus Police called it a tragic accident.
‘There is really not a lot of words I can say to convey how I feel,” Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua told WBNS.
“Everyone in this process is literally grieving as if this child belonged to us, because most of us are parents and can’t imagine just how this scene is,” he added.
