       But the brave 31-year-old managed to save her tot by pushing the pram towards a passerby as the hound savaged her arm on Doncaster Road.

       Katie told Yorkshire Live: "I can remember seeing the dog running towards me, truthfully I was absolutely petrified, I love dogs, but I could see it was coming for me and it just looked so angry.

       "Some things are really clear and some things really aren't, I don't know if that is my way of blocking out the trauma. I can remember saying to the woman at the side of the road 'please don't let me die I have a daughter.'

       "I can just remember the most horrific and intense pain, everyone says child labour is the worst pain, but it's not. I wouldn't wish the pain on anybody.”

       Luckily a lorry driver ran to her aid and managed to pull the dog off Katie.

       Katie continued: "The lorry driver that saved me said there was so much blood dripping from my arm, he said he didn't know if I was going to survive or not.

       "The ambulance got there first, it didn't go through as critical initially, but they soon changed that and an air ambulance arrived.”

       Once in hospital Katie had to endure a five-hour surgery on both of her arms.

       She explained: “My finger was classed as a partial amputation, my left finger had been broken at a 90 degree angle and I had gashes out of my right arm (top and bottom).

       "My left arm has got pins in and I have had to have about 50 stitches.”

       Katie’s aunt has now set up a GoFundMe for her niece, who has been forced to move back in with her mum after the incident.

       Katie said: "It's changed me massively as a person. I was so confident and now I am so anxious I can't go anywhere without my mum or dad without getting overwhelmed and ending up in tears because it's just all too much.

       The dog involved in the incident was “seized” by armed officers before being destroyed.

       It comes after a 10-year-old child, woman and a man have been injured after being mauled by a dog.

       The schoolchild and man suffered serious leg wounds in Monday's attack by a pitbull-type dog in Huddersfield.

       Officers managed to get the dog - described as a family pet - under control before they took it away.
