Joslyn was walking in her home neighborhood of Winder, Georgia, a small town about 25 miles west of Athens, on Friday afternoon when she was chased and attacked by two pit bulls.

A Barrow County Sheriff’s deputy who responded to a 911 call arrived on the scene and found Joslyn lying face down against a curb as one dog was grabbing her neck and the other was biting at her head, according to a police report cited by Classic City News.

When the deputy got out of his vehicle, one of the dogs approached him. The deputy then shot the dog, who ran off having suffered a bullet wound.

The other dog released its grip on young Joslyn and also ran, according to the report.

Investigators later located both dogs at the residence of 29-year-old Alexandria Torregrossa, according to Classic City News.

Montgomery said that Joslyn’s scalp was damaged to the point where she may never have natural grown hair again.

‘There may be implants and things that can be done, but it will be over a year before those discussions can even begin,’ Montgomery said.

Joslyn’s aunt also said she suffered lacerations all over her face and body.

Joslyn also sustained nerve damage that ‘may affect her smile, her blinking and other facial expressions,’ Montgomery said.

On Sunday, doctors learned that Joslyn had a blood clot in her jugular vein that may need treatment.

The family has requested that anyone willing to donate toward medical expenses do so through a PayPal link

‘There is still so much that we don’t know about her injuries, but we know that God knows and that can heal her,’ Montgomery said.

Joslyn will most likely need years of extensive therapy, according to her family.

The family has requested that anyone willing to donate toward medical expenses do so through a PayPal link.

Joslyn’s family is asking donors to give funds to that link only as several unauthorized crowdfunding efforts using her name and image have cropped up on other sites.
