Two toddlers have been mauled to death by the family's pet pit bulls and the mum left with bite marks all over her body after she desperately tried to defend her children.
Mum, Kirstie Jane Bennard, 30, fought the dogs for 10 minutes, according to a relative, suffering horrific injuries in the process.
She tried to pull the two family pets off five-month-old boy, Hollace Dean, and two-year-old girl, Lilly Jane, but both children died at the scene by the family home in Shelby County, Tennessee.
