A 4-month-old baby girl may have been accidentally suffocated by the family puppy in Ohio, authorities said.
Little Raelynn Larrison was found unconscious by her father, who’d noticed the puppy resting on top of her around 7 p.m. in their Dayton home, WRGT reported.
The infant’s father frantically called 911 and told dispatchers, “The puppy was lying on her and I just now noticed it,” according to a recording of the call obtained by the outlet.
“She’s not breathing. My baby ain’t breathing,” the father continued, according to the Dayton Daily News.
Raelynn was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police are investigating the tot’s cause of death.
Family members seeking funeral expenses on GoFundMe called the death an “unexpected tragedy.”
