A one-week-old baby boy has died after being bitten by a family pet in Shropshire.
West Mercia Police said the child died in hospital on Tuesday morning after paramedics were called to an address in Woodside Road, Ketley, near Telford.
Initial indications suggested the boy died after being bitten by the dog - a family-owned Jack Russell. Efforts were by the ambulance crew at the scene and on the way to the hospital to save the child.
The animal has now been put down.
Sky's David Crabtree said the family were "utterly devastated" by what had happened.
Woodside Road, Ketley Police are continuing to investigate the precise circumstances of the boy's death as they await the result of a post-mortem.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Jamieson said: "Our investigation is ongoing but it appears that the baby died as a result of a dog bite.
"The dog in question was a family pet - a Jack Russell - and this animal has been put down.
"A post-mortem will be taking place to establish the exact cause of this baby's death but at this stage it does appear to be a tragic accident.
"With an investigation ongoing, there is no further comment I can make on this matter apart from to say that all our thoughts are with the family of the baby at this extremely sad time."
The emergency services were called to the house just before 8am and the boy was taken to Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
