Texas Babysitter Arrested After Dogs Fatally Maul 1-Year-Old

A 13-year-old girl heroically attempted to save the toddler during a vicious dog attack while the babysitter was absent.

Heather Rodriguez, 36, was charged with felony injury to a child after leaving a toddler and a teenager alone with her dogs.
The attack occurred in Converse, Texas, when Rodriguez's four XL American bullies broke into a room where the children were hiding.
The 13-year-old girl tried to protect the toddler, described as a 'hero' by Sheriff Javier Salazar, but the dogs overpowered them.
The toddler, Jiryiah Johnson, suffered severe injuries and died at the hospital despite emergency surgeries.
Rodriguez's dogs, previously deemed dangerous, have been seized by authorities and may be euthanized.
