"Grandma Fights Off Attacking Pit Bull, Saves Grandkids"

Friday morning, Maria Turner was walking her two grandkids to the school bus stop on Old Hickory Boulevard near Central Pike in Hermitage, as she does on a typical school day, when a pit bull came loose and began chasing after her six-year-old granddaughter.

Turner said the dog jumped on her first, forcing her granddaughter to the ground.

The dog then bit at her granddaughter’s head, scratching her ear and yanking her hair.

Turner had no choice but to step in and pry the pit bull’s teeth from the little girl’s hair.

Even her broken shoulder didn't slow her down.
