The tiny dog leapt to the defence of the children - aged between four and 11 - when the two dogs threatened them on the way to a dairy in Manaia, New Zealand, on Sunday.
Richard Rosewarne, 11, the oldest of the children, said the pit bulls came up behind them and were going for his brother Darryl Wilson, 4.
"George tried to protect us by barking and rushing at them, but they started to bite him - one on the head and the other on the back. We ran off crying and some people saw what was happening and rescued George."
But nine-year-old George was so badly ripped apart he had to be put down.
George's owner Alan Gay, 69, says his dog died a hero.
