December 18th, 2011, Karin Carter was walking to her son's house, unaware that she was about to face the most gruesome event in her life on that sunny winter day. Max, Leah, Ruby, Helen, her son's pit bulls that had always been friendly to her, ran out to greet her. She started rubbing their chests and scratching their ears when suddenly they turned from man's best friend into Karin's worst nightmare. "Oh my god, they've killed Karin!" thought her brother-in-law, Daniel, who was the first one to get to her. The scene was so bloody that they thought the dogs had just torn an animal apart. Karin had been mauled to within an inch of her life. Her right leg was mangled beyond recognition, exposing bone and torn flesh. Her blood had mixed with the mud on the ground in one of the most vicious dog attacks in recent history. Will Karin survive this? Will she ever overcome what easily is the greatest challenge on her life? And if she gets lucky to get out of the hospital alive, will she ever be whole again?
