Husky attacks 6-week-old in his crib, mourning family decides to donate baby's organ

NEW DELHI: Family in Tennessee's Knoxville, is mourning the loss of their 6-week-old son who was fatally mauled by their husky while sleeping in his crib. The infant succumbed to his injuries on Thursday, nearly a week after the attack, which left him with life-threatening injuries, including a brain bleed and brain swelling.

Chloe Mansoor, baby's mother, expressed her grief, saying, "Being his mom was the biggest honour and the best thing I've ever done."

The family had owned the dog for eight years, along with another canine, and neither had shown any signs of aggression prior to this incident, making the attack "completely unprovoked."

In the midst of their heartbreak, infant's parents, Mark and Chloe, have decided to donate their son's organs to help other babies in need. This selfless act has provided them with some solace during the devastating grieving process.

Chloe Mansoor shared her reflections with WVLT, emphasizing the importance of cherishing every moment, even the challenging ones.

“Really don’t take anything for granted even if it’s a moment you’re annoyed in the moment or frustrated in. All of those little moments are still so amazing,” Chloe Mansoor said.

The family is asking for prayers and support as they navigate this lifelong process of coping with their loss. The Knox County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the incident, and the dog has been taken to an animal shelter.

The future of the canine and any potential charges are yet to be determined.
