Mom and kids, 2 and 4, attacked by dog while helping elderly neighbor

A mom and her two children in South Carolina were attacked by a pit bull while helping a neighbor with dementia return home.

In an interview with TODAY, Hastings said that when she and her children pulled up in the neighbor's front yard, she noticed that the front door of the house was open and that her dog had gotten outside. The pit bull then jumped into the golf cart.“At that time, my son was sitting next to me in between me and this lady and my daughter was on the backseat,” Hastings said over the phone. “He kind of looked at me, and then my son, and then he lunged at my son twice and I got between them.

“He took the children into his truck and then about five minutes later, another neighbor showed up and took the dog from me,” Hastings said. “At that point, all of EMS and Animal Control and them showed up.” "There's no telling what provoked him," Hastings said of the dog."I literally still have no idea. I've thought about it a million times and I can't think of anything that we did that would have caused him to react."

It is so sad that the little ones bear the brunt of the attack. Why did the elderly lady’s family leave her with a pit bull for a pet? It could have turned on her! It was so good of the young mother to help the elderly woman; it’s too bad it ended like this..😥

I’m glad the dog was put down.

I’m a dog lover and love when people who don’t have “pitties” blame the owner. They all just love them, but yet own other breeds. Lol. News alert - It’s the dog, not the owner. The owner did not chew off a baby’s face. The pit’s innate behavior is to be aggressive. So sweet.

Dogs suck

🙏

Poor dog was obviously trying to protect its owner. Of course they had to name the dog breed to further perpetuate the very false narrative about pitties.
