Annette Rojas, 8, rests sedated at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital after being attacked by a pit bull that escaped from a neighbor's home.

A pit bull that escaped from a Santa Rosa home mauled an 8-year-old girl who had been playing next door in her yard on Wednesday, deeply gashing her face, and then turned on the girl's mother when she rushed to help.

I've spend many years with English Mastiffs. I cannot imagine them attacking anyone.

The girl must've drawn a cartoon of mohamutt

I'm pleased she will recover.

Poor little thing. Prayers for her and her mom.


"We are going to look into declaring the dog as vicious," Garcia said.

It doesn't seem that should be a big hurdle.

That pitbull needs to be put down, immediately.

That poor little girl ... prayers for her.
