A father is demanding answers after his 1-year-old daughter was bitten by a dog in Miami Beach while they were on vacation.

NBC6 on Sunday spoke to Andy Petranker, who said the attack happened within seconds while his family was at Beach View Park.

Petranker said his daughter survived the incident but is still in a lot of pain after she was bitten in the face.

“We don’t know what to say,” he said. “We’re in shock still at this point.”

What was supposed to be a fun family day at the park quickly turned into a Nightmare for Petranker and his daughter.

“You don’t expect something like this to happen,” he said.

Petranker told NBC6 that he and his family were in Miami Beach on vacation when they went to Beach View Park on Friday morning, which was the last day of their trip.

He said that’s where his 1-year-old daughter was mauled by a dog.

“He was on her,” he said. “His mouth was on her face. Part of the jaw on her eye. Part of the jaw on the lip area.

He said his daughter had been petting the dog earlier that morning while it was with its owner, and everything seemed OK at first.

“I said, ‘He, is this dog safe around children?'” he said. “The owner said, ‘Absolutely. It’s a family dog, very safe, very good with kids.'”

Petranker said that when his daughter walked away towards the playground, the dog suddenly attacked.

“The dog lunged at her face at the right side of her face,” he said.

He said his daughter is in a lot of pain and was left with cuts on her face, along with mental scars.

“No sleep, a lot of crying, a lot of pain,” he said. “She’s very nervous. Her right eye is very swollen, so she has limited vision on that eye.”

Petranker tells NBC6 that he filed a police report and said he plans to take legal action.

NBC6 has reached out to Miami Beach Police for a statement, but hasn’t heard back yet.

According to the city’s website, dogs are not allowed in parks in Miami Beach unless it’s a dog park.

This latest incident is the second dog attack of a small child in the past few days.

Also on Friday, another 1-year-old was mauled by their family dog in Hallandale Beach.

The dog was later euthanized, and the child is expected to recover.

It’s unclear if the dog’s owner in the Miami Beach incident will face any charges.
