The horrific death of 17-month-old Bella-Rae Birch was reported today after the toddler was mauled by a dog at home.
The dog's breed has not been confirmed as police said tests will be carried out to determine if it was an illegal breed.
A neighbour described the animal as "stocky", adding that she thought it was a fully grown Pitbull or Staffy, the Mirror reported.
