A mum is fighting for her life in hospital after her two-month-old baby boy and two-year-old daughter were mauled to death in a horror dog attack. Kristie Jane Bennard, 30, desperately tried to save son Hollace Dean and daughter Lilly Jane from the pet pit bulls during a 10-minute struggle on Wednesday afternoon.
It is not yet known what caused the animals to turn violent at the family home in Shelby County, Tennessee. The paretn is currently in "critical" condition in hospital, the Daily Star reports.
Relative Jeff Gibson shared in a Facebook post that the Kristie has an "uncountable amount of stitches and bite marks over her entire body, including her face" and that both her "arms and legs are bandaged/wrapped up completely". He added: "Kristie is a f**king hero! She never gave up trying to save these babies."
