Nationwide — In a heart-wrenching interview, Daja Pringle, the mother of a two-year-old girl, who tragically lost her life after being attacked by three Rottweilers while at a daycare facility in Houston, Texas, has opened up about her profound grief and the difficult journey of coping with her loss. She shared her sorrow and memories of her daughter, A’Daya Rain Fisher, as she navigates the aftermath of this devastating incident. Pringle’s strength and faith are helping her survive this unimaginable pain, as she tries to find solace in the belief that her daughter is now in a better place.
The attack, which resulted in A’Daya’s death, has brought attention to the dangers posed by dog attacks, especially involving young children. Each year, numerous innocent children are either attacked or killed by dogs, underscoring the importance of awareness and preventive measures to avoid such tragedies. A’Daya, who was born prematurely, was known for her vibrant personality. Her mother fondly remembers her as a little girl full of life and joy, always smiling and dancing whenever music played. “She was full of personality, always smiling, always dancing,” Pringle said, recalling how A’Daya would light up the room.
As Pringle grapples with her grief, she is also focused on preserving the memory of her daughter while caring for her four-year-old son, who shared a close bond with A’Daya. The loss has been particularly difficult for him, as he adjusts to life without his sister. Pringle shared how their nightly routine of snuggling has been replaced by heart-wrenching emptiness. “One night I’m okay. One night, I’m on the floor,” she expressed, revealing the emotional turmoil she faces as she tries to maintain strength for her son.
Despite the horrific nature of the attack, Pringle finds some comfort in the fact that A’Daya’s face and body remained intact, allowing her to say a proper goodbye. “I saw my baby, and I laid with my baby until I couldn’t anymore,” Pringle said, emphasizing how important it was for her to have that final moment with her daughter. In memory of A’Daya, Pringle plans to launch a nonprofit organization aimed at raising awareness and supporting other families to prevent similar tragedies.
As the family prepares to lay A’Daya to rest, they have established a GoFundMe page to assist with the funeral expenses. While the authorities continue to investigate the incident, they have decided not to file any charges, concluding that the tragic event was accidental. Pringle’s courage in sharing her story serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones.
