What a tragedy. :-( And, sadly, the dog is guilty by association. It doesn't say she had any signs of being mauled by the dog in this article. Perhaps a follow up article with clearify. Just so sad all the way around. :-(
Missing child found dead in neighbor's yard near Rottweiler
Associated Press - July 12, 2007 4:14 PM ET
CLEM, Ga. (AP) - Carroll County authorities say a 5-year-old girl was found dead today in a neighbor's yard a couple of hours after she was reported missing from her home, and officials believe she was killed by a chained Rottweiler dog.
Sheriff Terry Langley says the searchy for Tiffany Pauley began after a 911 call from her mother just after eleven am.
The girl, who had Down syndrome, was last seen at her home in Clem, just south of Carrollton.
A helicopter and search dogs were used to look for Tiffany, and a recorded phone message was sent to homes in the area.
A resident found Tiffany a few houses from her home. Langley said she was dead in the backyard, lying close to a Rottweiler that was on a chain. The initial investigation indicates she had wandered up to the dog and was killed.
