A Neighbor’s Pitbull Killed a 7-year-old Girl in Her Yard in Louisiana

Authorities in Louisiana said that a pitbull belonging to a neighbor went into the yard of a 7-year-old girl’s home and mauled her to death.

According to police records acquired by the Advocate, Sadie Davila was playing outside the East Baton Rouge Parish residence at 6:30 p.m. on Friday when the dog barged onto the property and “viciously attacked her.”

The dog was whacked with a walking cane by a family member to scare it away, but the attack dog was unaffected.

The first-grader was brought to the hospital with a significant skull injury and many dog bites to her face. Later, according to police, she passed away from her wounds.

“My baby. She is only 7 years old. My mini-me. The light in my heart. Words don’t exist for what this feeling is. My family is shattered. Please pray for us. Pray they press charges on the dog’s owners & hold them responsible,” Sadie’s mother, Haley Anselmo, wrote on Facebook.

“RIP my sweet Sadie Elizabeth, 7 years old & taken from us most violently. The world is a cruel place. You were the light in my heart,” her father, Mikey Davila, wrote in an Instagram story.

Woodlawn Elementary, Sadie’s former school, described her as a little girl who was “blossoming in the dawn of her life.”

“Sadie was fierce and spunky, but she was also tender-hearted and kind,” her teacher, Grace Feucht, said in a statement. “She brought energy and joy into my class every time she stepped in the door. She was fearless and would sing her heart out in front of her classmates.”

According to the complaint, investigators discovered the dog with blood around its lips and face after the event. In Sadie’s yard, “a significant amount” of blood was found.

According to the city’s animal control director, the dog was put down the same night as the killing.
