The animals ripped off her ears and left lacerations all over her arms before her frantic mother managed to save her.

Sophia Beckett underwent surgery following Tuesday's savage attack at a home near Ballymoney, Co Antrim, while she was on holiday from London.

"They were just attached to her head. They were just shaking her around like a rag doll," her mother Natasha said.

Mrs Beckett said her daughter would have been killed if seconds more had passed.

She will be left with scarring on her scalp.

Her mother described cradling Sophie in her arms and fending off the dogs. "All they wanted to do was just to kill her, they just wanted to kill her," she told the BBC.

"She was just caked in blood and screaming. All her flesh was hanging out of her arms."

The family were staying at a holiday chalet near Dervock, outside Ballymoney.

Father Lawrence attempted to kick the animals off before the farmer who owned the dogs shot them.
