Lindsey Stroup, and her 6-year-old daughter Lily Goligowski, were having a normal day together in their Texas home on July 18th when a shocking and horrific attack sent young Lily into hero mode.
The two were dogsitting a pair of pit bulls for a friend. At around 7:30 a.m. the dogs began attacking each other. As Lindsey and Lily watched in horror, things went from bad to worse.
Both dogs turned their attention to Lindsey and lunged at the young mother. They quickly overpowered Lindsey and got her to the ground where they began mauling her.
Quick thinking Lily, knowing she would be of no use in the fight and would be in danger herself, grabbed her mother's cellphone and ran to the bathroom. Lily locked herself inside and immediately called 911.
Officers with the Denison, Texas police department arrived within minutes . Officers report that the dogs attempted to attack them as soon as they exited the vehicle. Officers were forced to open fire, striking both dogs and taking the life of one. The second dog was captured by officials.
After neutralizing the dogs, officers began life-saving measures on Lindsey. Lindsey was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Lindsey has undergone multiple surgeries and remains in the hospital fighting to recover from the attack.
Although Lily witnessed such a harrowing event, she remains positive and is her mother's biggest cheerleader.
Local authorities are investigating the incident.
Great job, Lily. You are incredibly brave.
