A 3-year-old boy, Beckett Brown, died after being attacked by an American bulldog at his grandmother's home in Minnesota.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon near New York Mills after the boy climbed into the dog's outdoor enclosure.
His grandmother, Kristen Nelson, 51, was injured while attempting to stop the attack and drove him to the emergency room.
Beckett Brown died at the Perham Health emergency room, and Nelson was transferred to a hospital in Fargo for treatment.
The dog involved in the attack has since been euthanised, and the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident.
