MANSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Mansfield police say a dog ordered euthanized by selectmen after he bit a 6-year-old boy in January has attacked a teenage girl and was surrendered by the family.
The Boston Globe reports that the unidentified 16-year-old girl was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, R.I. Her condition was unknown.
Olivier Kozlowski, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said on his Facebook page that the family let an animal control officer on Saturday take the dog named Milo, pointer-hound mix. He had remained with the family as it appealed the selectmen’s decision.
The daughter of Milo’s owner, Michael Bailey, was babysitting in her home Jan. 3 and briefly left him alone with the sleeping dog. The child needed more than 400 stitches.
Bailey did not immediately return a call on Sunday.

Poor dog
wonder what caused it to attack. It’s all on how you raise them!
Oh my god!!!What a mess and a dog Dies Because his owners don’t know how to raise a Dog Right!!I say the Pet owners should be Put Down..Sad…
So sad. Did the owners have the dog evaluated first to be able to fight to keep him. It is not always the dogs fault. I would have liked to know more to this story. I hope they can at least be present for the euthanasia instead of him going scared in the shelter. What a tragedy all around and for the kids who were bit. Sounds like a lose, lose situation.
@Tracy Poudrier I knew it….here we go again…the PETA lover….Dr. Poudrier…Anything with animals over people
They did the right thing before someone gets killed.
It would be different if it were your animal!!! Bless everyone involved
