Redcar family 'robbed of memories' after baby's dog death

A tragic incident occurred in Dormanstown, Redcar, where a three-month-old baby girl named Maggie-May Ann Moody lost her life following a dog attack on 9 April. The heartbreaking event has left her family devastated, feeling as though they have been “robbed of a beautiful lifetime and memories.” Maggie-May was dearly loved, and her family described her as their entire world, sharing that she brought them meaning and purpose every day.

Authorities arrested three individuals in connection with the tragedy: two men aged 36 and 45, along with a 31-year-old woman. All were taken into custody on suspicion of being responsible for a dog dangerously out of control resulting in death. Additionally, the woman faces charges of child neglect. Following the incident at Hardale Grove, armed police responded promptly, and two dogs involved were put down—one on the street and another inside the property. Police have stated that neither animal is thought to belong to a banned breed.

The scene where Maggie-May lost her life saw an outpouring of grief from the community, with flowers and soft toys left as tributes. Maggie’s family remained by her side throughout her time in hospital, never leaving her. They expressed the profound impact her death has had on the whole family, especially her siblings, who adored her and had plans for their futures together.

In a heartfelt statement, Maggie-May’s family shared their sorrow and affection: “Maggie changed us in so many ways. She was everything to us. She gave us meaning and purpose every day and we feel empty.” They concluded their tribute with words of love and farewell, saying, “Our lives will never be the same again, she will always be in our hearts. Goodnight, God bless baby girl x.
