Heartbroken mum pays tribute to ‘gorgeous blue-eyed baby girl’ mauled to death by a dog at home

The mother of a 17-month-old toddler killed in a dog attack has paid tribute to her ‘gorgeous blue eyed baby girl’. Bella-Rae Birch was killed in a dog attack at her house on Monday, March 21 in Blackbrook, St Helens.

The dog, which had been brought home by the family just a week before, has been destroyed following the attack. The child’s mother Treysharn Bates has set up a GoFundMe page in honour of her daughter. The fundraiser has already amassed over £2,300 to help towards funeral costs, CheshireLive has reported.

She wrote: “On the 21st of March we sadly lost our gorgeous blue eyed baby girl, who was just one Years of age, in a tragic sudden accident. We are now in a position where we need to raise funds towards the most beautiful send off. Every little will help, every little is appreciated. Thank you everyone.”
