The investigation found a rescued pit bull, who was being watched by an individual at the celebration, bit the child and an adult who tried to intervene.
The victims received immediate care at the fire station and the dog was put down within a couple of days, he added.
"The dog attacked the child out of the blue," Ryan said. "It was an unfortunate situation."
Both the child and the adult were bitten on the hands and arms.
