A pet dog which fatally injured a 10-year-old girl was an XL bully, police have confirmed.
North Yorkshire Police said the animal had been euthanised after it killed Savannah Bentham at her family home near Malton in North Yorkshire on Friday.
Savannah died at the scene despite efforts by medical professionals and a member of the public who came to the family's aid.
A spokesperson said the dog had been with the family for four years and had a Certificate of Exemption under new legislation introduced in February.
