A MOM has died after a pack of dogs mauled her and her two children while they waited for the bus.
Courtney Williams, 35, was found dead behind a school in Georgia on Thursday evening, just days before Mother's Day.
Police raced to Brooks County Middle School, on the Florida-Georgia border, after hearing reports of the devastating dog attack.
When they arrived at a bus stop behind the school, officers discovered Williams' body lying in a field, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
The children had already been taken to the hospital by a Good Samaritan, and are recovering from their injuries.
Family members shared pictures of the horrific slashes the children were left with after the attack and said they were safe, but suffering from life-long scars.
Crystal Cox, who is Williams' sister-in-law, said the little boy ran to the school for help once the dogs attacked but turned around when he thought no one would be around.
Then, he spotted the stranger whom Cox called an "angel."
The little boy came back and pushed his sister out of harm's way while the stranger fought off the pack.
Cox didn't know the man's name but said he "is a blessing to my family."
"Without him, I don't know what the outcome would have been," she wrote on Facebook.
Cox said the children were stitched up and are in their father's care.

"[He's] in paid and at my house resting.
"We are asking if you're not immediate family, please limit calls and messages."

NEIGHBORHOOD FEAR
While the GBI investigates the attack, neighbors who live near the tragedy are calling for changes to be made.
"People dump dogs all over the county and no one can get help with them because there's no country animal control," one neighbor told NBC affiliate WALB.
"Praying for this woman's family. This is so sad."
Another neighbor was heartbroken at the timing of the horrific tragedy.
"I do feel for the family and for the kids because now they are going to have to celebrate Mother's Day without their mother," they told the local outlet.
