Three Long Island kids were savagely attacked by a stray pit bull they tried to feed, police said.
A neighbor had found the abandoned dog wandering in Wyandanch about a week ago and put him in a cage.
The children opened the cage Monday afternoon to feed the dog, and he lunged at them. Celida McCloud, 10, and Shanaqua Newkirk, 8, were bitten on the leg. Mikal Heath, 8 was bitten on the back. Police arrived and shot the animal to death.
The victims were taken to an area hospital, where they were treated and released.
