An influencer is being sued by her best pal for letting her pit bull savage her one-year-old daughter's face.
Chiara Camerra, who is currently living in the US with her dad, is demanding the animal is put down as part of any future settlement, according to local reports.
The horrific incident occurred when the mum was preparing a bottle of milk for her daughter at a barbecue party hosted by her friend Tara Gabrieletto on December 19, 2020.
Chiara looked up after she heard growling and to her horror saw the dog with its jaws clamped on her daughter's face.
The horrified mum told local media: "He was tossing her around like a rag doll.

"But he was hanging on and if I hadn't intervened, he would have killed her.
"I took a kitchen towel to stop the blood coming out everywhere, the dog had ripped off half her face.
"She had cuts on her head and forehead, I don't know how I didn't pass out because I'm also impressionable.

Her daughter ended up in an intensive care unit with horrific facial injuries from which she is still recovering two years after the attack.
Now Chiara, in the lawsuit with her former best friend, TV's Temptation Island star Tara Gabrieletto who owns the dog, insists on the dog being put down.
She said Tara had seemed more interested in preserving her online than in punishing her dog.

Chiara said: "I was given Tara's lawyer to deal with a lot of matters, including insurance claim, and I wasn't really thinking about anything else.

"In the meantime, she moved to Rome and then effectively disappeared.
"Later, I realised that she had been more worried about what impact it would have on the social media following.
"She had asked me not to talk about it, and it was then I realised I needed to change lawyers."
Chiara's new lawyer told local media: "Unfortunately, when she came to me, the possibility for a criminal case has timed out and now it's a civil case to get proper compensation."
He said they had received $331,000 for the injury.
However, they are also demanding compensation for the young mother's family, who have looked after the baby through her recovery.
