The dog attacked the preschooler who was playing in her front yard, police said. The girl's father said the dog bit his daughter on her arm near her elbow but let go quickly.
The dog then raced to the woman's truck and jumped in. The woman was unloading groceries and had gone into the house, police said. She didn't realize that the dog was inside her truck and reached inside to get more groceries.
The dog then bit the woman, authorities said.
