CALIFORNIA -- A 7-year-old Oakland girl is recovering after she was bitten in the face by a neighbor's pit bull.
Lt. Chris Landry of the Oakland Fire Department says the girl was taken to Children's Hospital in Oakland Saturday after she was bitten by the dog. She was in stable condition Saturday night.
The attack in East Oakland happened two days after a 2-year-old Concord boy was fatally mauled by three of his family's pit bulls in the garage of his home. The Contra Costa County coroner's office identified the boy as Jacob Bisbee.
In the Concord incident, the boy's step-grandfather was charged with child endangerment and owning a mischievous animal resulting in death.
The man's five pit bulls were euthanized by county animal services.
