Police say a dog that fatally attacked a newborn in a Home west of Edmonton was surrendered to officials.

Const. Julie-Ann Strilaiff says the dog was set to be evaluated today by a veterinarian for things like rabies or inbreeding, and an application would possibly be submitted under the Dangerous Dogs Act to have it put down.

The newborn was airlifted to the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton after the attack Sunday in the hamlet of Entwistle, about 90 kilometres west of the provincial capital, but officials announced yesterday the baby had died. The breed of dog hadn't been confirmed, but Strilaiff described it as medium-sized.
