A four-year-old girl has been left with horrific facial scars after being attacked by a pit bull when she and her mother tried to help its dementia-stricken owner.

Lainey was savaged by the vicious beast when she, her brother Wesley, two, and mom Bethany Hastings tried to help their neighbor get back to her house.

The elderly woman had wandered on to their property on April 26 and they escorted her back using their golf cart in Bonneau, South Carolina.

Bethany said when they arrived at the woman's home, her front door was open and the pit bull came out and began viscously attacking her children.

The dog first lunged at the toddler, injuring his face before moving on to Lainey after she screamed.

The mother sprung into action and tried to fight it off but the animal got loose and attacked the girl again, dragging her and causing multiple injuries to her face.
