The Mosquito First Nation community in Saskatchewan is mourning the death of a three-year-old girl following a vicious dog attack.

The incident was reported Sunday night.

CTV News has learned the little girl and her family are originally from the Dakota Plains area near Portage la Prairie.

Police say the girl was mauled after wandering into a yard and encountering two husky-cross dogs that weren't fenced in or on a leash.

The girl was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to hospital.

The dogs have been put down by their owner.

Authorities say criminal charges are not being considered.

The family moved to the Mosquito First Nation about a year ago.
