It absolutely does, she did as human guilt should force her.

Do you really think that the thought process of "my kid's getting mauled by the dog, I need to save him" actually takes long enough to process such a complex emotional response as "now that I consider the risks associated with adopting a rescue pit bull, I recognize that I bear responsibility for this current crisis, and because of that guilt, I'm going to intervene even though I stand a good chance of being injured"? That's not how brains work, dude. If you want to flippantly dismiss literally sacrificing her life as being a simple emotional response, at least suggest that it was maternal instinct. That's still a ridiculous way of looking at things (since you're actively trying to come up with an excuse to not applaud somebody for meaningfully risking her life, and that's never going to not be absurd), but at least it's remotely plausible.

it doesn't absolve her of her original action.

It doesn't have to. You can screw up and also be heroic. Had she survived, her heroism wouldn't change the fact that she shouldn't be able to adopt another dog like this, but it would nonetheless have been heroic to intervene.
