HOOKSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - January 21, 2009
Trooper Matthew Roth says the dog that killed Brianna Shanor on
Monday was chained and the girl had been warned to stay away from
him. The dog, which is part Rottweiler, weighs more than 100 pounds
and will likely be euthanized.
Police say the girl apparently went into an old camping trailer
that the dog could enter while chained. That's where her body was
found, with serious wounds to her neck and other areas.
Police say the girl was living with a guardian in Hanover
Township, Beaver County, because her mother recently lost her job.
The girl's mother, Tara Wood, says she doesn't blame anybody for
the death.
