Most of the people across the world keep pets to safeguard their homes and property, but sometimes those same pets can turn against you. A 4-year-old boy by the name of Jayelin Graham was killed by his family dog, after being attacked inside his own apartment. The dog was a Cane Corso Mastiff and according to its owners, it had been tamed and used to live with the family.
Jayelin Graham was attacked and bitten multiple times by the Cane Corso Mastiff. Most of the bites were around the head, neck and torso, from heavy bleeding took place. The deadly attack took place on Friday night, when most of the family members were at home. Jayelin Graham was rushed to the nearest hospital but by the time he had reached, he was dead. The boy was pronounced dead at the Brookdale Hospital according to spokesman Andrew Rubin.
According to sources, there were two other small children in the house, a 2 and 5-year-old boy, but they were not harmed by the Cane Corso Mastiff. The New York Animal Care and Control agency have removed the Cane Corso Mastiff as well as a German Shepard from inside the apartment and investigation is going on as to what might have caused the Cane Corso Mastiff to attack the child.
A Cane Corso Mastiff is a large Italian dog which is kept mostly as a guard dog or as a hunting partner. It is more muscular and athletic than most of the other Mastiffs, and people usually keep it to scare off intruders from their vicinity. The weight of this dog varies from 40 to 50 kg, and it is a moderately tight skinned dog. A Cane Corso Mastiff appears mostly in two coat colors- black and fawn and its coat is also sometimes shiny.
A Cane Corso Mastiff is easy to train and it has a temperament to please its master and form a close attachment with him or her. Aggression should never be encouraged in this dog as a Cane Corso is highly suspicious of strangers and can attack very violently. This recent case of the Cane Corso attacking Jayelin Graham while he was playing with his brothers, exhibits the dangerous side of this breed. So owners should be very careful while keeping such dogs at the house.
