Pit Bull Lunging At Toddler Didn't Expect Young Mom To Fight Back

Growing up, we all heard from our parents that we should never touch a strange dog. But what about familiar animals? This Texas woman thought there wouldn't be any surprises in introducing her toddler to a canine she knew well. When the meeting veered off course, the mom quickly got in between the two of them. There was no time to think.

A Devoted Mom

Chelsi Camp had a lot on her plate, but her entire world revolved around one person: her daughter. Two-year-old Mackenzi was the apple of her mom's eye, and the two of them went everywhere together.

Protecting Her Girl

The Houston mother tried to give Mackenzi the best of everything, though she knew she couldn't protect her from all the dangers in the world. The girl couldn't live her life in a bubble; there had to be small risks. One began with a phone call from a friend.

Dog Sitting

In 2014, Chelsi got word that a pal of hers was going on vacation and needed a good dog-sitter. Would she be up for it? Well, Chelsi figured it would be a good way to help out her friend and spice up an otherwise ordinary week.

High Expectations

Because toddlers are in need of endless entertainment, Mackenzi got quite excited when she heard about this new pup. She was a dog lover herself, though this particular variety wasn't universally appreciated.
