A dog attacked a 2-year-old girl Sunday in Helvetia, lifting her up by her head, severing the top on her ear and leaving deep cuts on her neck and face.
The girl was at a gathering with 30 family members and friends just before 5:30 p.m. on an acreage at 15500 N.W. Logie Trail Road when a black Labrador retiever named Bear suddenly grabbed the girl by her head, according to Washington County sheriff's officials.

All dogs can attack/harm children or adults, regardless of breed. Likewise,
all dogs can be trained and socialized to be wonderful family companions. The onus is on the owner to properly train the dog from a very early age to be calm and restrained around other people and animals.
