             The body of Eliza-Mae Martha Mullane was found by her mother Sharon John after the infant was apparently mauled by a male Alaskan Malamute, a powerful, husky-type dog bred for pulling sleds.

She was airlifted to hospital, but she was dead before the ambulance arrived.

The pet was said by neighbours to have been with the family for just a few months after the little girl’s father Patrick Mullane, a scrap metal dealer, arrived home with the animal after a night out.

Friends said the 33-year-old had rescued the dog, called Nisha, after being told its previous owner was going to have it destroyed.
