The children were playing in El Paso, Arkansas, USA, on 11th December when the neighbours’ pet dog ran straight towards three-year-old Annsley.

As the dog viciously attacked her, brave brothers Declan and Aiden immediately rushed to help her.

They managed to shield their little sister from the attack and pull her away from the vicious dog.

Their parents, Jacob Michael Moore and Caitlin Mayo, then rushed them to hospital after they sustained numerous, deep cuts in the savage onslaught, as seen in these gruesome photos.

While Declan received stitches for multiple bite wounds, Aiden’s injuries were so extensive he had to undergo surgery.

Grandmother Brenda Hrubes wrote on social media: “[W]e calculated that his [Aiden’s] surgery yesterday [12th December] closed at least 38 viscous wounds.

“We found a new bite on the back of his head that still needs to be cleaned and treated.

“They did physical therapy for the first time today [13th December]. It didn’t go as well as they had hoped for. This kid is so brave and strong.”

Proud dad Jacob launched an online fundraiser to raise cash to pay for his kids’ hospital bills.

He wrote: “Our kids were outside playing at their grandparents house having a good time, when all of a sudden the neighbors dogs came into their grandparents yard and darted after our youngest daughter Annsley (3 years old).

“Our middle child Declan (6 years old) got in between his sister and the dogs and started carrying/shielding his sister away from the attacking dogs all while being attacked viciously by both dogs.

“Aiden (10 years old) then stepped in between Declan and the dogs to get them off of his brother and sister.

“We had to rush them to ER where Declan had to receive stitches in multiple places all over his body.

“Aiden has to have surgery as he got the worst of it.

“These boys are heroes! They were so brave and had it not been for them, their baby sister could have been seriously injured or worse.”

He added: “We knew that these boys were gonna be special, we just had no idea how right we were. We could not be more proud of them than we are right now.

“As you all know, medical bills can be very expensive and we as parents worry that we may not be able to provide the Christmas that these young heroes deserve.”
