"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.
It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.
The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.
"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."
How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).
I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts. [Reply]
This changes everything. Rushing down to the shelter tomorrow to grab a sweet little pittie and introduce them to my 7 and 1 year old!! Bet they'll love them!!
Don’t forget to grab a complimentary barb wire tat and smedium wife beater. [Reply]
In my 5 K doordash deliveries the meanest dogs I have run into are German Shepards. I have been attacked by 2 of them, I have had a few pitbulls bark as loud as can be at me through doors. [Reply]

I was mauled by a German Shepherd, and have scars all over my head.
So, YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP BEING A PRISSY LITTLE TELEVISION CHARACTER.
Not speaking to the person is a sissy bitch move. You were in your car. If you were upset, you could have rolled down your window and said something. Instead you rushed home to write about it like an internet tough guy.
I don't want to see any dogs get hurt, yours or otherwise. But what you described read like an overreaction and your description of the way you left was comical and embarrassing. Just like Raj would have reacted with Cinnamon. I would ask if you carry your dog in a purse, but I feel like I would be insulting Women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community via association.
And maybe you are a bit racist, since being compared to a brown skinned television character, who was rich and hooked up with a couple of hotties during the show, immediately made you that upset. Or, are you just homophobic, because you believe that character to actually be gay? [Reply]

Same here, I’ve done thousands upon thousands of deliveries and have had more incidents with German shepherds then pit bulls. [Reply]

My mother told me not to speak to strangers. Especially those who break the law. No good comes of it.
If someone is breaking the law, and you are not in immediate danger, you should never try to confront them or amend the situation yourself. That's literally why we have 311 and 911. To AVOID escalation with society's criminal element.
I was in the car with the windows rolled up and my dog baying its ass off. I couldn't even hear the idiot and didn't care what he had to say. STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE! I hope they took his stupid dog away to die by lethal injection. I'm sure that will be his fate in a few years anyway. [Reply]
