BOSSIER CITY, La. -- A Louisiana couple is facing negligence charges after a puppy chewed off four of a baby girl's toes.
They told police they were awakened by their month-old baby's cries on Sunday morning, saw her mangled foot and rushed her to the hospital. But doctors couldn't reattach the toes.
A veterinarian speculates the six-week-old pit bull puppy might have been trying to nurse.
The animal will be quarantined for ten days and checked for rabies. It's unclear what will happen to it after that.
The baby is now in foster care. Mary Shannon Hansche, 22, and Christopher Wayne Hansche, 26, face child desertion and criminal negligence charges.
