Council rangers have seized two dogs after the death of a five-week-old girl on the NSW South Coast at the weekend.
Police were called to Moruya Hospital after the parents brought in the baby girl with a severe head injury about 10.40pm on Saturday. She died just after midnight.
An investigation was launched into the death of the baby, resulting in the council seizing two rottweiler-type dogs.
The attack occurred at a family home and the dogs were owned by the residents of the property.
Police said investigations were continuing, but they did not expect to lay charges.
Eurobodalla Shire Council, which seized the dogs, said it would not comment as the incident was under police investigation.
In an unrelated incident in November last year, a two-year-old boy died after he was attacked by two dogs at a motel in central-western NSW. The two dogs, a rottweiler and a cattle dog, were seized and euthanised.
There were almost 3500 dog attacks recorded across NSW between January 1 and September 30 last year.
