The two-year-old boy who tragically died after being viciously attacked by two dogs at a country roadside motel has been identified as Jyedon Pollard.
The toddler was set upon by a Rottweiler and a cattle dog in front of his mother and two sisters at the Country Gardens Motor Inn in Cowra, in NSW‘s central-west, just after 10am on Tuesday.
It is understood the dogs, now seized by council rangers, belong to staff members of the hotel where the boy’s mother Kesha Pollard had been living temporarily with her children.

A grieving relative said the children had played with the dogs on numerous occasions without incident and did not consider them a threat.
The family member described it as a ‘freak attack’ that happened ‘for no known reason,’ they told The Daily Telegraph.
‘He’s the most precious and beautiful kid, no one can believe it’s happened to him.’
Young Jyedon suffered severe injuries to his neck and face and was rushed to Cowra Hospital in a critical condition by witnesses and then airlifted to Westmead Hospital in Sydney where he died later in the afternoon.
Heartbreaking tributes flooded Ms Pollard’s social media pages after news of the boy’s death filtered through the tight-knit community.
