Pet Piranha Bites Off Chicago Toddler's Fingertip




CHICAGO -- Chicago-area parents thought their pit bull was to blame when they heard their 18-month-old daughter crying and discovered one of her fingertips had been severed.


Turns out, the culprit was a piranha the family kept in an aquarium.


Doctors determined the bite wasn't from a dog after the girl was rushed to a hospital by ambulance Tuesday night.


He didn't immediately respond to messages left Saturday by The Associated Press, and a hospital spokesman couldn't provide the information.


Bilecki says the parents were distraught and aren't facing charges.
