Animal control officials refused to comment on the incident but stated that they were working with the police to have the dog put down. The pit bull was quarantined for ten days following the attack.
The incident has incurred significant medical expenses for Lily’s family, who have set up a GoFundMe page to help with the costs. They are also grappling with the emotional trauma of the attack, with Lily’s mother expressing her distress at seeing her daughter tied down to prevent her from removing the medical tube.
