A baby girl bled to death from head wounds after being attacked by the family dog, according to the provisional findings of a coroner.
An inquest in Northampton into the death of six-month-old Molly-Mae Wotherspoon heard the baby died at an address in Timken, Daventry on October 3.
The baby was being cared for by her maternal grandmother, who was herself bitten as she tried to protect the baby.
The child's mother, Claire Riley, identified the body.
Coroner for Northamptonshire Mrs Anne Pember said the family had "paid the ultimate price".
She said during the two-minute hearing: "I understand that the family owned the American Pitbull Terrier who attacked Molly-Mae.
"The public should be aware this breed of dog is classified under the Dangerous Dogs Act for a reason, it is very dangerous.
"The family in this case have paid the ultimate price for owning such a dog - the death of their six-month-old baby."
The inquest was adjourned until February 11.
Police are continuing to investigate the "horrific" circumstances of the dog attack.
Molly-Mae's family issued a brief statement last week.
It said: "The family wish to say at this point that we are totally devastated and in complete shock for the tragic loss of our little princess and ask that we are left alone to grieve."
