OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A 3-year-old girl who was attacked by a bulldog outside her Ocala-area home has died.

According to a Marion County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, the girl was playing outside while her mother cleaned a dog pen Saturday. She got tangled in a dog chain when her mother went inside the home.

That's when a male dog attacked the girl, whose name wasn't immediately released.

The Ocala Star-Banner reports that four dogs were outside the home at the time of the attack, but investigators believe just 1 of the animals was involved. All the dogs were taken by county animal services officials.
