- description: Mother Reveals How She Threw Herself Into Jaws Of Pitbull To Save Her Daughter- 22 APRIL 2014 Chelsi Camp's maternal instincts were so strong that she physically bit off the ear of a raging pitbull which nearly mauled her two-year-old daughter to death last month inside their Alvin, Texas, home. Now, she has spoken out for the first time to reveal how she had to shove her fist into the dogs mouth while wrestling the dog off her little girl, Mackenzi. 'You do whatever you can,' said Camp. 'I don't have physical strength at my side.' Two-year-old Mackenzie Camp was left with severe head and facial injuries after a normally friendly dog turned on the toddler on March 31. 'The dog came up and he was just curious,' recalled Camp. 'When he smelled her, that's when you saw it flip because I think he smelled my dog on her,' said Camp to KHOU.com. Left with no option but to fight to save her daughter, Camp jumped in between the dog and her child. 'I only know to fight so how else do you get somebody to stop,' Camp explained. 'I mean I would do the same thing with a human being.' Camp suffered wounds to her arms and hands and is recovering along with her daughter now at home 'I can actually hold her again,' said Camp. 'I couldn't hold her for the first week that was the hardest part.' When police arrived they found the mother and daughter cowering in the bathroom, where the dog had corned them. The animal, which belonged to 23-year-old Miss Camp's boyfriend, was shot by police and later euthanized. Mackenzie's injuries were so extensive that she had to be airlifted to hospital and was in surgery for seven hours immediately after the attack. Despite her ordeal, her family say the little girl is sitting up in her hospital bed and smiling. SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE NEWS
