A heartbreaking event took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, when a toddler was fatally attacked by large dogs in her residence, just two days post-Christmas. Kingsley Wright, the three-year-old victim, was found by her father, who had been sleeping on the couch during the incident on December 27, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
The father, still in shock, dialed 911, describing the gruesome scene he woke up to. He found his daughter lifeless, with blood everywhere, struggling to understand what had happened. He added that his dogs were confined to their cages while he was asleep, which raises questions about how the attack took place.
The mother of the child, Gina Smith, was both heartbroken and angry about the incident. She questioned the decision to leave her daughter alone with such large dogs, each weighing over 100 pounds. Smith’s boyfriend, Josh Justice, also expressed his confusion and distress, wondering how the dogs could have attacked the child if they were supposedly locked in their cages.
The breeds of the dogs involved in the attack have not been revealed. After the incident, the dogs were taken into custody by animal control and are currently undergoing a state-required ten-day quarantine at Cincinnati Animal CARE.
Smith is seeking clarity about the circumstances that led to her daughter’s tragic death. She is grappling with the question of how the dogs could have attacked Kingsley if they were indeed locked in their cages, as claimed by the father.
Local authorities, including the Cincinnati police, are investigating the circumstances surrounding Kingsley’s death. Meanwhile, an obituary for the young girl remembers her as a bright child who loved to sing and dance, and who always saw the positive side of everything around her.
