TACOMA, WASHINGTON — A woman in Tacoma, Washington thought she was going to die when she was bitten more than 30 times by a vicious pit bull as she protected her best friend’s baby. <br /> <br />On October 29, Felicia Hambrick, 24, was at her best friend Cassy’s place babysitting Cassy’s three children. <br /> <br />During breakfast one morning, Cassy’s pit bull, Roscoe, suddenly came running into the kitchen. Hambrick, standing at less than 5 ft tall, had not choice but to use her body as a shield to protect her best friend's 8-month-old daughter as Roscoe knocked them to the ground. <br /> <br />Roscoe bit the helpless Hambrick in her legs, arms, stomach and neck as she screamed for help. <br /> <br />Cassy’s mother, who was smoking outside, rushed back inside to beat off Roscoe with a broom. During a moment when the dog relented, she managed to take the baby away to safety. <br /> <br />However, the dog soon came back to continue his attack Hambrick. The pain was so great that Hambrick said she wished she was dead. <br /> <br />Cassy’s mother eventually managed to get the dog outside, after sustaining a few bites herself, and Hambrick was rushed to Tacoma General Hospital for treatment. <br /> <br />After spending five days in the hospital, Hambrick was sent home with 94 staples holding her wounds together. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, Roscoe was taken away to animal shelter and has since been euthanized, Cassy told The News Tribune.
