In an update issued this morning, Merseyside Police named Bella-Rae as the victim. Neighbours have described hearing 'screaming' as the incident unfolded yesterday.
One resident told the PA news agency: “We pulled up from school and heard screaming. I just ran over to try to help and started CPR until the paramedics took over.”
The neighbour, who is due to go to university to train as a paramedic, said the child’s parents were 'hysterical'. She added: “I didn’t see the dog, I was just focusing on helping the baby.”
