Girl Hospitalized Following Pit Bull Attack

KENTUCKY -- A Kentucky girl is in the hospital, after being attacked by a pit bull.

Eight-year-old Brinna Banks

Eight-year-old Brinna Banks was in her neighbor's yard in Winchester when the dog bit her in the face.
 
The owner said Brinna played with the dog in the past.

After the attack, her grandfather rushed over to help.

"She came to the door screaming, I saw her face and the first thing I did was put a wet compress on there," said Brinna's grandfather Billy Banks.

Animal control officers quarantined the dog.
Brinna is listed in fair condition at University of Kentucky Hospital.
