EL PASO, ARKANSAS: Two young brothers are being hailed as "heroes" for saving their 3-year-old sister from a gruesome dog attack. The attack took place in their grandmother's home in El Paso,  Arkansas on Sunday, December 11. The unleashed neighborhood dogs reportedly darted towards the young girl, Annsley, 3, who was then rescued by her brave older brothers, Declan, 6, and Aiden, 10. “It was the worst day of our life ever,” Brenda Hrubes, the grandmother of the children, told KARK.

The three siblings were reportedly playing outside their grandmother's house when a neighbor's unleashed dogs allegedly ran into the yard and chased the girl, according to GoFundMe launched for their family's medical expenses following the attack. The parents said that when Declan intervened, the dogs savagely attacked him as he carried his sister away and guarded her. At that point, Aiden stepped in between his siblings and the dogs, thereby stopping the attack but also taking the brunt of his two siblings' injuries, reported People.
