After Mullins wrote about her experience at KFC on Facebook, the company apologized and launched its internal investigation.
“Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident,” said a comment submitted by the restaurant. “If you could help provide details of the incident … we will look into this immediately.”
After the story went viral, KFC also pledged $30,000 to help pay for Victoria’s recovery.
Investigators said three pit bulls attacked Victoria in the backyard of her grandfather’s home. According to WAPT-TV, the grandfather, Donald Mullins — Kelly Mullins’ ex-husband — shot and killed two of the dogs; a third was euthanized. The grandfather and his girlfriend were later arrested on child-endangerment charges.
According to Simpson County Sheriff Kenneth Lewis, Donald Mullins was keeping 10 pit bulls at his home at the time of the attack.
“This is probably the worst [pit bull attack] we’ve ever had,” Lewis said.
