A local child is in the hospital, her parents are in custody and a dog is in the pound after the puppy gnawed four of the infant's toes off Sunday, Bossier City police say.

The unidentified month-old girl was taken to WK Bossier Health Center by her parents with injuries that promoted staff there to call the police, city spokesman Mark Natale said.

"She had a severe injury to one foot, with most of the toes missing," Natale said. "Patrol officers who responded notified detectives, and after our juvenile detectives unit looked into it, they determined the child, who had been sleeping in a baby carrier next to her parents, had been bitten by the family's pit bull puppy, who appears to have gnawed on the child's foot."

So is this child abuse or animal abuse? Both? What do you do with thisfamily?
