After the death of the little girl, the Scientific Police were given intervention to carry out the tests in the house and staff from the Zoonosis Center controlled the animal, which was removed from the home amid the commotion of the residents of the neighborhood.

It happened on February 5 in the Mendoza town of Rivadavia. Micaela Rufina Mendoza, one year and seven months, died at midnight, after being attacked by a doge. According to information released by the local media, the tragic event took place in the house on 400 Rufino Ortega Street, where the victim lived with his family.

The girl was with her grandparents and her aunt in the kitchen of the home when, “in an oversight”, she went to the patio. Then everything happened very fast: the dog attacked her violently and nailed her teeth causing various injuries. The most serious, they say, was at the neck. According to sources from the province’s Ministry of Security, it was a stout white animal crossed with a bulldog, which was owned by the Rufino Mendoza.

After the attack, Micaela was rushed in a neighbor’s car to the Dr. Carlos Saporiti Hospital, in the town of Rivadavia, located about six kilometers from the provincial capital. When she arrived at the clinic, her condition was serious and, despite the efforts of the medical team, nothing could be done to save her. He passed away around midnight on Friday.

From the Facebook Group, Aires Vendimiales, they joined forces with Florencia Mendoza, Micaela’s mother who, in 2017, was awarded the Queen of Trees.

It is not the first time that a bulldog has attacked a creature and ends its life. In November 2020, a two-year-old girl died in La Plata Children’s Hospital after being bitten by a dog of this breed. The incident occurred in a house in the El Dique neighborhood, in the Buenos Aires district of Ensenada. As in this case, the animal belonged to the family and the attack happened in the house.

On that occasion the victim was immediately transferred by her parents to the Rossi Hospital, but due to the severity of the injuries (mainly to the face and neck, especially in the cervical part) the doctors decided to refer her to the Children’s Hospital of La Plata, where he died minutes after being admitted for cardiac arrest.

Micaela was rushed to the Dr. Carlos Saporiti Hospital, in the town of Rivadavia, located about six kilometers from the provincial capital. He passed away around midnight on Friday, February 5.

In September 2020, a seven-year-old girl was attacked by a pit bull in the Buenos Aires town of San Miguel. The episode was recorded on video by the security camera of a business. It shows the savage aggression that occurred when the minor walked down the street with her mother to a place near her home.

In the middle of that month a tragic episode also transpired in San Juan. There, Lara Rebecca Agüero, nine years old, was killed by a pitbull that had escaped in the Malimán neighborhood of the Rawson department. The dog bit her on the neck and dragged her to a neighboring house. The girl died minutes later due to the severity of the injuries before reaching a health center, where they tried to revive her without success.
