A mother has faced backlash online after she decided to keep her dog even after it attacked her 3-year-old daughter.

Klara Tsetkin took to TikTok and defended her decision to not have their family dog put down or taken away after her daughter was left with huge scars on her face.

She also claimed that her dog ‘never attacked’ her daughter and only bit her in ‘self-defense.’

In one video, Klara explained: “He was very sick. And tries to hide under the bed.. his hind legs gave out and he couldn’t crawl away…

“(Our) 3-year-old daughter did not understand that the dog needs to rest today and not touch him… she began to touch him even more, sit on him and climb into his face and hurt him…”

In another TikTok video, she suggests that she and her husband ended their marriage because he wanted to get rid of the dog.

“When someone asks me – will you regret that you are divorcing your husband because he wants to get rid of the dog?” she captioned her video.

She also created a fundraising page for her daughter as she still has visible scars on her face.

“The doctor did not tighten the stitches to the end due to a possible infection,” she said, “so the scar turned out to be wide.

“We are planning to do a scar resurfacing. If there are those who want to help our princess, we will be eternally grateful.”

People were not impressed, with many saying that her decision to keep the dog meant the animal was ‘more important than your daughter.’
