Moments later, the family’s second pit bull also entered the room and began to attack the child. Ruby’s family panicked and hurriedly tried to get the dogs away from the baby — but were unable to do so.

Terrifying… Speaking to ABC 7, Ruby’s grandmother Margaret Morales — who raised the dogs from the time they were puppies — recalled how she rushed into the room to try to save the baby girl: While Ruby’s grandmother was trying her best to de-escalate the situation, the little girl’s mother took more decisive action to save her daughter.

Thinking quickly, Jamie grabbed a knife and began to frantically stab the dogs in a desperate attempt to stop them from further harming her daughter.
