Early release for Ohio mom of boy gnawed by dog

TOLEDO, Ohio -- An Ohio woman whose young son's foot was mauled by the family's pit pull puppy has been freed from prison more than a year early.

The judge in Toledo who released 27-year-old Martina Jennings on Thursday put her under house arrest for 30 days and placed her in a community control program for three years.

Jennings served about two years and nine months of a four-year sentence for child endangering.

She must perform 20 hours of community service, take parenting classes and not keep dogs around her children.

Jennings' then 4-year-old son had his foot amputated after it was chewed on by the dog in February 2007. The county dog warden said the boy had no feeling in his legs because of spina bifida and didn't know the puppy was biting him.
