Girl, 4, mauled by Pit Bull type dog A 4-year-old girl from Croxteth was mauled by a Pit Bull type breed of dog.
The little girl suffered serious facial injuries and is now being treated in hospital.
She was bitten in a neighbour's house on Unicorn Road yesterday afternoon and police were called to the scene by paramedics.
The dog was taken away by officers and its owner has agreed for it to be destroyed.
In a statement a police spokesperson said: "Specialist officers from the Force's dog section have established that the animal was a Pit Bull type breed."
The dog's owner, Peter Shearon, 28, of Unicorn Road was charged with possession of a prohibited dog.
He has been bailed to appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court later this month.
