A Pelham Gardens mother is asking for the owners of the dog she said attacked her 5-year-old daughter on Halloween to come forward.
Christina Raven told News 12 she was out trick-or-treating with her daughter Isabella along the sidewalk at the intersection of Fenton and Mace avenues, when a dog she described as a pit bull attacked her daughter's head and face.
She said the owners of the dog left the scene before she could get their information.
"I just want justice. That's what I want and I want to make the community aware. Accidents do happen, but you have to be responsible for anybody's actions and if that's your dog, you should take accountability for what they did," Raven said.
She added that the dog, as well as another, were on long leashes and became aggressive towards her and her daughter.
Isabella is recovering well and is now able to open her right eye.
