WAI'ANAE
Fund set up in name of baby killed by family dog

The family of Iokepa Liptak, an 8-week-old baby killed by the family's dog, has set up a fund in the baby's name.

Donate at the West O'ahu Community Federal Credit Union's Wai'anae Mall location, 86-120 Farrington Highway, Suite B205, or by calling 682-3511.

Just after midnight Sunday, the dog hopped on the bed and attacked the sleeping infant. Funeral services are pending.

The dog belonged to the baby's great-aunt Opal Sao, who lived with the baby and his mother. The Hawaiian Humane Society euthanized the mixed-breed dog Monday.
