A horrified mother and grandmother Wednesday morning found the grandmother's pit bull on a bed with her grandaughter after the dog bit the two-year-old on the left side of the girl's face.
The child was rushed to at about 8:45 a.m. where doctors tended to an open wound on the left side of the child's face, police said.
