According to the babysitter, her pit bull Akita mixed dog attacked the child, biting his throat and dragging him through the yard. The woman stabbed her dog with a fork repeatedly before the dog finally let the child go. The child was airlifted to the Turlock Emanuel Hospital, but it was unfortunately too late. He died shortly after landing.
