DUNDALK, Md. — Baltimore County police say a 2-year-old girl received stitches after she was bitten in the face by a dog.

Police say the dog bit the girl Sunday after jumping up onto a couch in a home along Conley Street. The girl was taken to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for treatment.

The 1-year-old pit bull-beagle mix was turned over later to Baltimore County Animal Control officers.
