San Jose Toddler and Grandmother Attacked by Dogs

Another mauling, y'all. This time in San Jose.

A toddler, 20-month-old Anna Leigh Cinco, and her grandmother, 48-year-old Elizabeth Cinco, were sent to the hospital with serious wounds after being mauled by the family dog. A pitbull (according to the Gate, via AP) or a boxer-mix (according to CBS 5) attacked the infant on her chin, and left bite marks on the neck, ear and right leg of the grandmother. Ouchie.

It seems that the angry pooches first "attacked the baby and Elizabeth Cinco intervened, saving her granddaughter's life." And the dogs? Have been turned over to authorities. (RIP, pups.)

did you see the video of this yet? they live in hillbilly country. who knew we had these kind of people and places in little old san jose.

Just another misunderstood pitbull. Tell me again why Sugar Gliders are illegal in CA?

Who the f*ck leaves a pit bull in a room with an infant? Doesn't surprise me that they're rednecks. I hope they're charged with child endangerment.

great, that song won't be stuck in my head all day long now...thanks, manys. ;|
