    Forensic analysis confirmed two German Shepherd dogs were responsible for over 80 severe bite wounds on a 13-month-old child. Dental impressions and microscopic examination identified the specific animal culprits, demonstrating effective forensic techniques for bite mark analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Pathology
    • Veterinary Forensics
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Multiple animal bite injuries can be challenging to attribute to a specific cause.
    • Distinguishing between mechanical trauma and animal bites is crucial for legal and medical purposes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of severe multiple animal bite wounds.
    • To detail the forensic techniques used to identify the animal perpetrators.
    • To discuss the methodology for confirming bite mark etiology.

    Main Methods:

    • Autopsy and detailed wound examination.
    • Dental impression casting from apprehended animals.
    • Comparison of dental casts with wound morphology.
    • Microscopic analysis of wound tissue.

    Main Results:

    • Over 80 puncture wounds were identified on a 13-month-old victim.
    • Initial suspicion of mechanical injury was disproven by autopsy findings.
    • Dental impressions from two German Shepherd dogs matched the bite wound patterns.
    • Microscopic examination corroborated the animal bite etiology.

    Conclusions:

    • Forensic odontology and pathology are vital in identifying animal culprits in severe bite cases.
    • A combination of macroscopic and microscopic evidence can definitively establish bite mark origins.
    • This case highlights the importance of meticulous investigation in animal-related trauma.
