The grieving family has chosen not to give further statements as they mourn their loss.
The heartbreaking case highlights the importance of pet safety inside households, especially when young children are present.
This is not the first pet-related incident in the country in recent weeks. In early September, a three-year-old child in Cavite was also hospitalized after being bitten by a stray dog near their home.
Meanwhile, in Quezon City, animal welfare groups launched vaccination and awareness drives to prevent rabies and reduce risks from stray and unvaccinated pets.
Authorities and animal experts continue to remind pet owners to exercise extra caution when keeping dogs inside homes, ensuring they are properly trained, vaccinated, and supervised around infants or children.
The Bacolod tragedy has once again brought attention to responsible pet ownership and the need for stronger community awareness on safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

In other news, a chilling CCTV video captured the abduction of two men by suspects who pretended to be police officers in Manila. One of the victims managed to escape when the suspects stopped at a restaurant, while his friend remains in captivity. The abductors reportedly stole ₱9,000 from the victim’s e-wallet and took his gold ring during the ordeal. The incident highlights a dangerous trend of criminals impersonating law enforcement to commit abductions and robberies.
Still in other news, two men were shot and killed while riding a motorcycle in Valencia City, Bukidnon, in what authorities believe was an ambush.
