A 14-month-old Wisconsin boy has died after a brutal attack by a pair of pit bulls, authorities said on Thursday.

Police received a call from Susan Iwicki, 30, on Wednesday saying that she and the young boy were being attacked by the dogs, according to local NBC affiliate WMTV. Iwicki told police that she and the boy had each sustained injuries.

The boy died of his injuries at a Milwaukee area hospital later on Wednesday, the Walworth County sheriff’s office said, according to The Associated Press.

The boy had the “biggest eyes, great smile,” family friend Valerie Brylow told local affiliate WTMJ. “He was a great little boy.”

“He is adorable, absolutely adorable,” Nicole Jennison, another family friend told the station.

The boy’s name has not been released, and an investigation continues. Both of the pit bulls were removed from the property and euthanized on Wednesday, WMTV reported.

The fatal dog attack was the first in Wisconsin in a decade, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

I have to call bullshit on the last assertion by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and they well know it's a lie.

Start charging the owners with manslaughter and shit like this takes a sharp decrease or stops all together.

The statistics come from a national database on dog attacks which is compiled from hospital reports. I don't make the news, I just pass it on. As for your second question, apparently more than a few pit bull owners and thier friends aren't too bright or rational.

Nothing is predictable. Parents, do not leave your children unattended. It's as simple as that.
