The owner of two dogs that mauled a 9-year-old girl to death last week in Baoding, Hebei province, might have committed the crime of causing death by negligence for inadequately managing the dogs, lawyers said.

The girl was badly bitten by two vicious dogs on her way to school at Cuiguzhuang village in Quyang county at round 8 am on Nov 21. She later died of bite wounds after she was sent to a hospital, reported Yanzhao Metropolis Daily.

One dog bit her neck and the other dragged her for over 50 meters, the report said.
