The bull terrier’s owner intervened and he left the park without disclosing his details. Ms Isgar was so shaken by the attack she began to suffer a severe asthma attack. “I could barely walk or talk and was struggling to breathe, but the little girls came to my rescue." Ms Isgar said the group of girls, ranging from four to 10 years old, were playing in the park and each played their part in helping her. "One ran to get Bonny, the other ran to get the leash ... they all had little jobs,” she said.

“But, the eldest girl, she saved my life. She asked where my puffer was and grabbed my keys, running to the car to get it. "She was so clever and calm, she even locked the door and offered to organise a lift. A 10-year-old looked after me and the older man didn't even say sorry, or stay to help." Shaliah and Ms Isgar.

The other two girls could not make the occasion, but will also receive a letter and $25 from Ms Isgar.

"These girls should receive a bravery award. They were very responsible. I am really happy I could thank them in person,” she said. Year 4 student Shaliah said she was not expecting to see such a scary incident while playing with her friends. "We came here to play and not see scary things, but we saw someone sad so we ran over and helped,” she said. Tennessee and Ms Isgar share a hug.

"It's pretty amazing that she did that, but I am not too surprised," he said. "She's always looking out for everyone. It's pretty poor behaviour from that man and he can learn from the girls. "I am really proud." Mandurah Mail
