"My Bella boo. Have the best day gorgeous we love you too much."
Speaking on her daughter's death, mother Traysharn said: "On March 21, we sadly lost our gorgeous blue-eyed baby girl, who was just one year of age, in a tragic sudden accident.
"We are now in a position where we need to raise funds towards the most beautiful send-off."
The dog, which the family had bought home the previous week, is believed to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or Pitbull Terrier, reports the Sun. Police are currently searching for the dog's previous owner to better understand the breed, which could be illegal under 1991's Dangerous Dogs Act.
The attack itself happened at around 4 pm on March 22, at which point a frantic local employed CPR in an attempt to keep Bella stable.

"We pulled up from school and heard screaming," the witness and soon to be paramedic told reporters.
"I just ran over to try to help and started CPR until the paramedics took over.
"The baby wasn't well. I tried to help her. I started CPR, which I did for around 30 seconds. It was just myself."
Sadly, the toddler succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.
Updating the nation, who are closely following the case, her family said: "As a family, we would like to thank the community for their support.

"She will be sadly missed but never forgotten."
Neighbour Linda-Birchall, 61, said the family looked "devastated and inconsolable."
