A 7-year-old girl was mauled in the face by a pit bull while attempting to give money to a homeless woman in New York City, according to police.
The girl's mother gave the girl $1 to give to the woman on the sidewalk with her dog around 3:40 p.m.
But when the girl bent over to hand the dollar to the woman, the dog jumped up and bit her in the face, according to reports.
The girl, who hasn't been identified, was being treated a hospital Thursday night. She is expected to be OK but will likely need extensive cosmetic surgery, the TV station reported.
