The 18-month-old baby seriously bitten in the face by a dog in Charny-Orée-de-Puisaye (Yonne), this Wednesday July 5, 2023, did not survive. The Sens prosecutor’s office indicated this Thursday, July 6, 2023 to France 3 Burgundy-Franche-Comte that the little boy had succumbed to his injuries.
“It’s a real accidental drama. There is no blame or negligence on the part of the parents”said the prosecutor of the Republic Julie Colin to the regional channel.
The baby would have opened the dog enclosure himself
The child had been airlifted in critical condition to the Dijon University Hospital Center (CHU) after being attacked by a Caucasian shepherd. The animal was in a pen at the bottom of the family garden, where a kennel has been for several years. Around 10:30 a.m., the baby managed to open the enclosure and the dog then threw himself on him.
The victim’s 42-year-old father shot the animal with a rifle after the tragedy. He accompanied his son in the helicopter. The 30-year-old mother was transported to Joigny hospital after feeling unwell due to shock.
