Investigators showed up to the home and found the girl outside with injuries to her arm.
The Nebraska Humane Society called the situation an "attack" and said the girl didn't have room to retreat when the dog ran at her.
That's when investigators believe a family member of the 8-year-old girl shot the dog. Omaha police say the man had a concealed carry permit.
Steve Glandt, Vice President of field operations for Nebraska Humane Society, says the gun owner was looking out for the girl.
"Apparently, she was in a place where she couldn't retreat because of barriers, and her brother chose to fire the gun and protect his sister," he said.
