OMAHA (KPTM)- A 2-year-old is sent to the hospital today after being bit in the face by a dog. It happened around 1:30 this afternoon near 40th and Chicago. Investigators say it appears the girl was playing with the Chow/Shepherd mix when she grabbed its tale. That's when the dog turned around and bit the 2-year-old's cheek.
The Nebraska Humane Society says it was a fairly common bite. They did take the dog into custody but are unsure if any citations will be issued. The girl is expected to be okay.

A 2-and-a-half-year-old Omaha girl was hospitalized in serious condition after being bitten by a neighbor's dog Saturday afternoon. Neighbors say the girl was playing with the dog near 40th and Chicago around 2 p.m. and pulled its tail. The dog then turned and bit her once on the face.
A neighbor said the dog always seemed to be friendly. “I know they have one (dog) and his name is Jake and he's a real friendly dog and a real good dog and I feed that dog and the cats up and down the alley all the time,” said Ben Franklin.
The dog is classified as a mixed-Chow breed and is current on all its shots and vaccinations. The Nebraska Humane Society has taken the dog for now, though there may not be any citations issued. The dog could be returned to the owner.
