Seven-month-old Elle Doherty suffered a fatal head injury after she brushed against the family's 31kg dog.
A seven-month-old baby who was attacked by her family's pet dog, died after she suffered a "catastrophic" head injury, an inquest has heard.
Area coroner Delroy Henry concluded the attack at the family home in Coundon on 16 June lasted "less than a second" as the dog, called Zeus, was immediately pulled away. Her parents did not attend the inquest hearing after expressing what Mr Henry said was a "wholly understandable" wish to be excused.
Commenting on the stills, Det Insp Anthony Hibbert agreed with Mr Henry's suggestions that the incident "transpired within a second or less" and that both parents "immediately reacted to this situation by removing Zeus from the equation" and taking hold of both the dog and Elle.
