A six-week-old boy has been mauled to death by the beloved family dog as he slept in his crib inside their home.

Ezra Mansoor died on Thursday afternoon after six days fighting for life in hospital with brain swelling and bleeding inside his skull.

His parents Mark, 28, and Chloe Mansoor, 25, from Knoxville, Tennessee, welcomed their first child on April 14 and wanted nothing more than to be parents.

They never dreamed the placid, well-behaved husky they owned for the past eight years would attack their baby boy ‘out of nowhere’.

The dog had been Mark’s constant companion since he was a teenager and never showed any sign of aggression.

He called the dog ‘the light of my heart’ in a photo of him with a beaming smile holding the beloved pet.

‘You all must come to visit!! Bring Leon and Mena, please,’ a relative wrote next to the photo shared online. The couple have two dogs.

Mark and Chloe married in 2022 and threw a baby shower with family where gifts were piled high in the living room next to huge blocks spelling ‘baby.’

Chloe warned other parents that 'it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is'

‘Being his mom was the biggest honor and the best thing I’ve ever done,’ Chloe told local news stations outside East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

She warned other parents that ‘it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is.’

Ezra’s organs will be donated to help save other infants.
