A 4-year-old girl was in serious condition Monday after she was bitten on the face by a pit bull at her uncle’s home in Pomona, police said.<\/p>\n
The child apparently startled the dog while it was sleeping, the Pomona Police Department said. "The dog suddenly awakened and bit the child on her face," the department said in a news release. <\/p>\n
Police said the dog was not licensed and did not have a current rabies vaccination.<\/p>\n
The girl had just arrived at the home in the 1600 block of East Kingsley Avenue to visit her uncle shortly after 3 p.m. when the incident occurred, police said. She was being treated at Loma Linda Medical Center.<\/p>\n
The dog was taken into custody as a possible danger to humans, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident was under investigation by the Pomona Valley Humane Society.
