The dog attacked her as she was leaving her dad's home in Pennsylvania, US, following a heated argument.

Trinity was left with life changing injuries, after the previously lovable pitbull bit her nose and arm, dragging her about like a ragdoll.

The 20-year-old was rushed to hospital, where she stayed for several days with severe injuries to her face, ears and arm.

She underwent a number of surgeries, including a skin graft from the top of her forehead and scalp to her nose, as the dog ripped it off in the attack.

Though it would be hard to tell now that Trinity's nose has been reconstructed, the skin grafts taken from her head still grow hair, resulting in hair sprouting from her nose.

Trinity previously admitted that the aftermath of the attack had shaken her confidence, as it had been hard to come to terms with how her face had changed.

But the 20-year-old hasn't shied away from sharing images of her nose online - hair and all.

In that has since gone viral, garnering 5.7 million views, Trinity put together a 'hairy compilation' of pictures showing her reconstructed nose.

"Is this something you can get lazered in the future or is it too risky with it being a graft?" one viewer wrote.

"Definitely in the future," Trinity replied.
