The child was bitten several times at a home on Fuller Avenue, police said. The baby was taken to the hospital where they ultimately died.
Two dogs have since been removed from the home and they are being quarantined, police said. One of the dogs was the primary aggressor, police said Thursday morning.
Authorities are not releasing the small child's name out of respect for the family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones as they mourn their loss. May they find solace and strength during this challenging time," the police department said.
The investigation remains ongoing.
