Family's heartbreaking tribute to three-month-old baby girl 'mauled to death by dog' in Redcar

A family have paid a moving tribute to a three-month-old baby girl mauled to death at a home. Maggie-May Ann Moody died after allegedly being attacked by a dog at the property in Dormanstown, Redcar on April 9. The dog is not believed to have belonged to a banned breed. Two men, aged 36 and 45, and a 31-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the incident, and have been released on conditional bail. In a statement released through police tonight, her family said: “Maggie changed us in so many ways. She was everything to us. She gave us meaning and purpose every day and we feel empty. “As parents and a family, we have been robbed of a beautiful lifetime and memories with her. As a family we were all present with Maggie at the hospital, and we never left her side. “Her brother and sister adored little Maggie and will miss her dearly, as they had plans for the rest of their lives. Our lives will never be the same again, she will always be in our hearts. “We as a close family would like the press to please respect our privacy and ask that they do not attend the funeral and allow us to grieve. “Goodnight god bless baby girl x”
