Two young children are dead and their mother suffered major injuries after two family dogs attacked a baby and toddler outside their West Tennessee home.Kirstie Bennard, 30, suffered critical injuries when she tried to intervene in the attack on her 5-month-old boy, Hollace Dean, and 2-year-old girl, Lilly Jane, family and police said.

"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.

There's no good reason. It's always dipshits that think the dogs are cool cuz they're tough!!! And then take pics of the bastards with their one month olds.

What's better than man's best friend? Man's best friend that could murder at will!!! So cool. Almost always poor trash and Raiders fans(which are the same thing).

Pitbulls, Ticks, Mosquitos and Raiders fans.

Isn't it, though? He is a super sweet and shy boy.

Would you hate him less if I tell you that he is only a quarter pitty? Or is it a one-drop rule kinda thing for ya?

I don't wanna hate any dog, there are always exceptions to the rule... that said I'll never own one, or recommend anyone getting one

And I'm not speaking from inexperience, been around those those dumbass dogs more than enough to form my own opinions... they're a pointless, stupid breed IMO

We are gonna need to see pics of moms gash to confirm. And not the one the pitbulls gave her

My son, about 25 at the time, had one run up behind him, my son turned around at the sound and that ****er bit him twice on his thigh then clamp down just above his knee and started trying to rip a chuck out.
Fortunately, he remembered a few things his old man taught him about fighting...anything. He thumb punched that ****er right in the eye as hard as he could. Dog let go and ran off. Never did find out who the owner was. Ended up having to get a bunch of stitches and rabies shots.

I wouldn't recommend them either. Mostly because I don't trust people to train them properly. Mine came to me because he and 13 other puppies were dumped in Lexington, MO. I was fostering two of them pups and my boy Louie (Heeler mix) took a shine to him so we kept him.

He and the cat are currently WWE style fighting and body slamming one another. The cat will absolutely put that wee beast in his place to the point where the Pitty mix won't even make eye contact.

It is hysterical to watch.

Yeah but two parents are burying their kids after 8 years of believing the same thing

I have a friend that loves them. He's a hot head and thinks they are cool. Of course, they aren't trained and when they do something wrong, he yells at them and hits them. He had a male and female that he had to keep crated because they would just keep tearing each other up.

For him, at least, the dogs are more of a symbol of how much of a badass he thinks he is. He's Italian, short and fat. He asked me to watch them one time and I said absolutely not. Nothing worse than an untrained dog. Won't sit, heel or even respond when it sees something it wants to go after. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Is there a Pitbull ordinance in Kansas City?

According to the article they’d had the dogs 8 years with no problems, but 6 of those years were without the children. Situations like this the animals can be jealous of the attention they are no longer getting, and with a 2 year and a 5 month old there wasn’t likely much time or attention left over. Animals are animals. Don’t take a chance with your children especially with a breed that has been known to attack or even kill others.
