A family is mourning the death of their newborn baby, who was mauled to death by the family dog in an ‘completely unprovoked’ attack.
Six-week-old Ezra Mansoor was sleeping in his cot at his home in Knoxville Tennessee, when the husky attacked. The tiny baby succumbing to his injuries six days later, on May 31.
First-time parents Chloe and Mark say in the eight years of owning their two huskies, they had never shown any history of aggression. Devastated mum Chloe says it could happen to any family.
“Just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” she told WVLT.
The family is now grieving the loss of their much-loved little boy, but have found comfort in knowing that other children will be saved through his organ donation.
“Being his mum was the biggest honour and the best thing I’ve ever done.
“Really don’t take anything for granted even if it’s a moment you’re annoyed in the the moment or frustrated in. All of those little moments are still so amazing.”
The dog responsible for the attack was taken to an animal shelter.
