Raelynn Liming is back home with her family in Batavia Township Monday after being treated at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Raelynn's father, Steve Kanuber, said he wants the dog put down. Kanuber said he is grateful that doctors were able to send her home so soon and that she wasn't hurt more severely.
Clermont County Animal Control ordered the dog quarantined for 10 days at the Clermont County Animal Shelter.
Afterward, the dog's owner, Dennis Grant, can turn the dog over to authorities, who will put it down, or he can retain the dog with multiple restrictions. He would have to have a "vicious dog" sign in his yard, keep the dog on a leash or tether at all times, and have a lock on his fence.
Grant can also appeal the order.
Police say Raelynn was staying the night with a friend at the Greenbriar Mobile Home Park in the 200 block of Seton Court when the attack happened.
Officials said the girl was sitting on the floor watching television at about 9:50 p.m. when the dog walked up to her without any warning and [attacked] her on the face near her mouth. The dog's owners were able to restrain the animal during the attack, police said.
Raelynn was taken to Clermont Mercy Hospital before she was flown to Cincinnati Children's.
This incident happened within hours of another pit bull attack that killed a 7-month-old baby in Dayton.
