A cute one-year-old baby boy who was mauled to death by the family dog at their Connecticut home has been pictured.
Police were called to a East Hartford home around 3pm Wednesday for reports that a child had been bitten several times by a dog, which neighbors have described as being a 'cross-breed of Dalmatian and Pit bull'.
Lennox had turned one year old only a few days earlier, and was playing on the trampoline with his mother when the dog viciously attacked them.
The Dalmatian-Pit Bull mix, who had never exhibited signs of aggression, jumped on the trampoline and took Lennox.
'If the dog would have been aggressive or anything like that,' Lennox's dad, Ricky Rohena, told NBC, 'he wouldn't have been around the baby.'

There were two dogs involved in the attack, although 'one was the primary aggressor,' according to investigators.
Lennox's mother, Keyshla Torres, who is pregnant, was also injured in the attack.
'I witnessed it,' she tearfully recounted. '[The dog] got onto the trampoline, then he grabbed the baby.'
'I hope he didn't suffer. I hope he was numb to it.'
Rohan Green, the Torres' neighbor, heard the wailing and screaming and hurried across the street to help. He tried to fight the dogs back and protect Lennox and his mother.
'I tried to fight off two Pitbulls and help the baby as much as I could,' he said. 'One minute seemed like forever.'
Lennox's family was planning on celebrating his first birthday at a Chuck E. Cheese the day the baby was killed.

Authorities are conducting an investigation into Lennox's death
The two dogs have been removed to a shelter and are being quarantined
Emergency responders performed lifesaving measures and took the infant to a local hospital, but the boy died 'despite the valiant efforts of medical professionals'.
The boy's death is under investigation, police spokesman Officer Marc Caruso said, adding that two dogs were removed from the home.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones as they mourn their loss,' Caruso said. 'May they find solace and strength during this challenging time.'
The owner is understood to have kept two dogs on the property, both of which have been removed from the home and quarantined.
A memorial has been erected outside Lennox's home and 'Happy birthday' balloons have been tied to the fence.
