1-Year-Old Girl Killed in Ohio Dog Attack, Police Say
TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO, JUL 2 – The family pit bull attacked during an indoor walk, severing the toddler's carotid artery; the dog had prior aggression toward other dogs but no human attacks, sheriff said.
- On July 2, 2025, in Dover Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, a one-year-old girl named Blakely was tragically killed by a family dog, identified as a pit bull, at a residence on Lake Road.
- The attack occurred while the mother was inside the house carrying Blakely, and the father was absent at the time of the incident.
- Deputies arrived to find Blakely with bites to her face and throat, and the mother sustained defensive wounds trying to stop the attack.
- Sheriff Campbell said, "There was nothing that could be done," and noted the father euthanized the dog that day as detectives prepared information for the prosecutor's review.
- Authorities confirmed Blakely's death at the scene, and while prosecutors will examine the case, it is unlikely that any charges will be filed.
