A 10-month-old girl has died in North Carolina after being attacked by the family’s dogs while her father stepped away, police said.

The fatal attack occurred around 8 p.m. Tuesday when the father went outside to move a sprinkler in the yard of the Willow Spring home, news station WTVD reported. “The father had left the small child inside the residence unattended for only a couple of minutes, he heard a lot of commotion in the house, went back inside and found the baby unresponsive,” Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Danny Johnson said.
