"He entered the bedroom and recognized the trauma to the infant, at which time he retrieved the infant from the bassinet, placed the infant on the floor and started CPR," the official report said.

The grandfather was still performing CPR to the baby when medical officials arrived with the first aid services; the newborn was found alive and with response in the arms and legs.

Then, Cecileigh was airlifted to Bayfront Health Seven Rivers Medical Center, where 90 minutes after the incident, she was pronounced dead by the medical team, Daily Mail reported.

BLAMING PIT BULLS IS NOT THE SOLUTION

Despite the regrettable situation, studies used by PETA reference show that pit bulls are the most abused dog breed because they have been labeled as violent. People just have to see the environment in which these episodes of aggression had occurred.

Not all pit bulls are aggressive, in fact, they are a breed that’s been known through history as a nanny dog, meaning they are especially good with children. However, they are still animals and supervision is always required.

If you still have doubts about pit bulls being good dogs; in California, a pit bull became a hero when he took a baby by the diaper, warned his owner of the imminent danger and then rescue them from a fire that may have ended their lives.

Although no one was hurt in the incident thank to the heroic actions of their dog, their home was deemed unlivable when the firefighters arrived at the scene. The owner was extremely thankful for her dog, saying that it meant everything to her that he saved her life.
