Mom Bites Off Dog's Ear To Save Daughter During Attack
A dog in Texas was no match for a mom who used her teeth and fists to save her 2-year-old daughter.
Scars on little Mackenzi Plass' face tell the story of a vicious attack. Last month she was with her mom, Chelsi Camp, who was dog sitting a friend's pit bull when the animal snapped after smelling her.
The dog bit the 2-year-old's face and arms. While her little girl was bleeding on the floor, Chelsi's own animal instinct kicked in. She shoved her fists in the dog's mouth and bit off a chunk of its ear.
"You do whatever you can," she said. "I don't have physical strength at my side. How else do you get somebody to stop? I mean, I would do the same thing with a human being."

15 Things Wives Should Stop Doing
What do your words and actions say to your husband about your love for him?
In the 1960s, The Supremes recorded their hit song “Stop! In the Name of Love!” I remember singing the words as a teenager: “Before you break my heart … think it o-o-ver …”Even though I’ve been married for decades now, it’s still important for me to consider my husband’s needs. I should think about the possible effects of my careless words, attitudes, and actions before I break his heart. Can you identify?
I asked some girlfriends, “What should a wife stop doing if she wants to improve her marriage?” This list is based on their responses.
1. Stop thinking that your way is the “right” way. If he does something differently, it does not mean that it’s wrong. When a wife insists on having her own way, she is in essence saying, “I have to be in control.”
2. Don’t put others before your husband. God designed companionship in marriage so that a husband and wife can meet one another’s need for a close, intimate, human relationship. He even said in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good that the man should be alone.”
So what happens when you put your mother, a friend, or even a child before your spouse? Actually, you take a step (often unintentional) toward isolation in your marriage. If you choose, for example, to spend an afternoon shopping with your mom when your husband asked you to watch a football game with him, you may leave hubby feeling that he has second place in your heart.
3. Don’t expect your husband to be your girlfriend. Most men and women not only look different physically, but also have unique ways of processing life. One example of this is the need for conversation. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m guilty of wearing out my husband with countless conversational details that he doesn’t really care about. Now if he were a girlfriend, all of those details would definitely matter!
4. Don’t dishonor your husband. Suggestions included: Stop all nagging and don’t correct hubby in front of others. If you finish your husband’s sentences, you may be unintentionally communicating, “I don’t really care about what you have to say.”
5. Stop expecting your husband to fail you as your dad failed your mom. “I spent many years waiting for my husband to give up and walk out on me, like my dad had years earlier,” said one friend. Her unfounded fears had robbed her marriage of much joy.
40 Things Husbands Should Stop Doing
Sometimes we need encouragement in our quest to step up and be the men God has called us to be. Sometimes we need information, and sometimes we need training. Sometimes we need a mentor—someone who will show us how to be godly men, how to love our wives as Christ loves the church.
And sometimes we need to know what we should stop doing. Sometimes we may even need someone to say, “Hey, stop acting like a jerk!”
That’s what this list is about.
Here are 40 of the best ideas gathered from suggestions by a number of men. Of course, not all of these items apply to all men. But perhaps something here will hit home for you.
1. Stop acting like the battle is won in pursuing and getting to know your wife. Have fun together, just like you used to do before you walked down the aisle.
2. If your wife is a stay-at-home mom, stop treating her like her work during the day is somehow less strenuous or less important than yours.
3. Stop coming home from work and plopping in front of the television for the night, leaving your wife to bear the responsibility for everything else going on in the home.
4. Stop working so much. Find a healthy balance between work and family. Your wife would rather have you than a big house, nice car, etc.
5. Stop acting like you’re listening when you’re really watching TV.
6. Stop allowing the spiritual leadership of the family to default to your wife.
7. Stop being passive when it comes to disciplining and training your kids.
8. Stop saying you know and understand what your wife is saying or feeling when you haven’t even listened to what she has to say.
9. Stop being a closed book. Open up to your wife. Don’t be afraid to show emotion.
10. Stop allowing your role as leader in the home to be an excuse for selfish behavior. Don’t forget that a true leader also serves.

Want A Baby Girl? Get The App Solution
From artificial insemination to in vitro fertilization,
there's no shortage of ways that technology is helping couples who want
to have children. But a new iPhone and Android app called Stork Diet/Girl claims that it can help people have a baby girl for a fee of just $9.99. Alain Hanash, who created the app, used data from a study conducted
by two British universities that tracked the eating habits of 740 women
who were pregnant for the first time. The study found that 56 percent of
the women who followed a low-sodium, low-calcium diet had baby girls.
The app, following that approach, tailors a nine-week diet for women who are hoping to get pregnant with a girl. “It is a natural and scientific based guide that includes a specific maternal diet and conception timing program," according to the app's description. But Dr. Gilbert Webb, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at the Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, is wary of putting too much stock in at-home methods of gender selection.
“It may offer some slight edge but not a whole lot. He warns prospective parents not to think that this app – or anything else – is 100 percent guaranteed. Although the creators of Stork Diet claim that they have an 81 percent success rate, the evidence is inconclusive, according to some medical experts.
