Luna-Ann needed surgery and 40 stitches following the horror dog attack.
Mum Amy Hobson, 32, has now revealed the horrifying events after she had returned to a friend’s house following a shopping trip with her brother Darren and daughter at around 3pm.
The American bulldog had been kept in a room upstairs but had been able to escape.
Previous encounters between the dog and Luna-Ann had been perfectly harmless but things turned horribly wrong when the four-year-old went to pet the pooch.
Amy told the Mirror: “He got hold of her face and got her to the ground. I was kicking and punching him to get him off her and I got my little girl off the floor, and called 999 straight away.
There was loads of blood. Luna was calm and brave, it was me that was panicking and crying.”
A taxi took Luna-Ann to A&E after 999 call handlers said it would be several hours before an ambulance would arrive.
She underwent surgery for more than two hours and needed plastic surgery and 40 stitches to her face.
Amy said she lives with her family on the same street in Camp Hill as where the attack occurred.
