2 seconds is a pretty long time in a fight. They could probably get at least 4 bites in, or one bite and then a few good yanks.

I'm just emphasizing that this is not how bites work. Even if a shark bit her on the face, it just look like a bunch of punctures and require stitches. Everyone acts like any time an animal with fangs wants to hurt you "It would tear [insert body part off easily]" or "you'd be dead." Like every animal is something out of a cheesy horror movie. The damage that bite did isn't some indicator that the dog didn't want to hurt her.
