An eight-year-old Chilliwack girl who survived a vicious pit bull attack last week may have a tiny Chihuahua to thank for her life.
Jenna, a Grade 3 student, was looking for bunnies outside her grandparents east Chilliwack home last Tuesday when a neighbours pit bull escaped its enclosure and attacked her.
The dog took her down at the knees and clamped its powerful jaws on her face resulting in serious facial injuries and hundreds of stitches. Thats when Honey, a four-year-old Chihuahua owned by Jennas grandmother Anne Marie Desrochers, intervened.
The small dog barked at the larger animal, distracting the pit bull from Jenna. The pit bull released the girl and pursued and briefly caught Honey before heading back toward Jenna. The pit bull was then collared by its owner, who had witnessed much of the attack and whose entry into the enclosure had provided the brief moment necessary for her dog to escape.
