All three of them were transported to a hospital after the attack, where Archie died and Daniel-Jay was placed into the intensive care unit. Rogers was treated for minor injuries.
Rogers called little Archie an angel in a statement released in the aftermath of the infant’s death.
“It doesn’t seem real that our little Archie Bum has gone to heaven and our little Daniel is in intensive care because of a tragic, tragic incident involving a dog attack,” said Rogers.
The dog, believed to be a Staffordshire bull terrier-type, has been put down with the consent of its owner, according to Metro.co
