A two-week-old baby boy died has died after being mauled by the family's dog as his mother looked on in horror.
The infant had been placed in a carrier on the floor when the dog, which had been locked in another room, squeezed through a set of French doors and attacked.
The baby's mother, who was outside watching through a window, raced indoors as family members managed to pull the baby free.
He was airlifted to Harris County's Memorial Hermann Hospital but died five hours later.
Neighbor Kevin Patcha told the Houston Chronicle that the couple, who have not been named, were renting the house and had recently moved into the area.
He said: 'It's terrible and unexpected.
'I can't think of anything that would have led to this incident.'
The dog, a labrador cross, has been placed in a kennel while authorities decide its fate.
Experts warned that even dog's with no history of aggression should never be left with infants.
Dog behavior consultant Jennifer Shryock told the Chronicle: 'When an unfamiliar smelling, wiggling squealing tiny being is left alone they may go to investigate.
'The baby was unfamiliar and the dog investigates as a dog does.'
