TULSA — Authorities Tuesday identified a 2-month-old boy who died after being mauled by a Labrador puppy inside a south Tulsa residence, but offered few other details concerning the attack.

Parents' names withheld
Ashley declined to release the parents' names, but said the infant's father is 18 and the mother is 17.
Authorities think Earles was bitten numerous times by the black Labrador puppy.
Hod Johnson, a neighbor, said the family mostly keeps to themselves.
"I knew them well enough to say ‘Hi' when I saw them on the street,” Johnson said.
A week ago the young parents and a friend had the baby in a stroller and were taking a walk, he said.
"It's a sad situation,” Johnson said.
