    A 6-week-old baby sleeping in his crib was mauled to death by the family’s dog .

    Little Ezra Mansoor succumbed to his injuries Thursday, six days after the seemingly tame husky attacked in his Knoxville, Tennessee, home.

    “Being his mom was the biggest honor and the best thing I’ve ever done,” the infant’s grieving mother Chloe Mansoor told WVLT.

    Ezra had been in the hospital in critical condition for nearly a week before he died, according to his first-time parents. Among his life-threatening injuries were a brain bleed and brain swelling.

    The “completely unprovoked” attack took the family by surprise.

    The dog — which they had owned for eight years — was one of two in the home, though neither had a history of aggression.

    While little Ezra’s life was cut tragically short, his parents Mark and Chloe have decided to help other babies in need by donating his organs, according to an online fundraiser.

    Working to save the lives of others has given them peace during the gutwrenching grieving process.

    “Really don’t take anything for granted even if it’s a moment you’re annoyed in the moment or frustrated in. All of those little moments are still so amazing,” Chloe Mansoor told the outlet.

    “Pray for all the family really, everyone loved him so much. I know everyone’s grieving right now, we’re grieving right now, and it’s going to be a lifelong process trying to work through this.

    The canine has since been taken to an animal shelter as the Knox County Sheriff’s Office investigates. The dog’s future, or whether any charges will be brought forward, is not yet clear.
