PICO RIVERA, Calif. -- Three women and a toddler are recovering in the hospital after the family's pit bulls attacked the young girl in Pico Rivera, forcing the family to kill their dogs to stop the attack.
Deputies responded to a dog bite call late Sunday night at the home near Homebrook Street and Pico Vista Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Finally my daughter got up...and that's when I my granddaughter. I the dog was latched on her left leg. That's when I had to actually get my hand into his jaws and open them up and that's when he released her," she said.
Morales said the dogs continued to attack the other family members, prompting the toddler's mother to grab a knife and fatally stab the dogs.The animals were around 3 1/2 years old and had been with the family since they were puppies.
