While out for his morning walk, a man was viciously attacked and had his face ripped off by seven Pitbulls.
Aglacir de Macedo Pereira, 46, fell victim to the dogs’ ambush in Lageado Feio, a rural region of southern Brazil on February 2.
As he was on his regular walk, the dogs, which had escaped from a farm, pounced on him after sneaking underneath a gate.
Fortunately, some brave passersby intervened to rescue him from the horrifying attack and promptly called for an ambulance.
Pereira was swiftly taken to Santa Cruz Hospital in central Pinhao.
The Pitbulls inflicted severe injuries, biting off all the skin on his face and leaving his skull completely exposed.
Tragically, despite medical intervention, he succumbed to his injuries upon arrival at the hospital.
Speaking to local media, Pereira’s distraught aunt said, “He was like a son. I raised him since he was two years old.”
His family holds the dogs’ owner responsible for inadequately securing the animals.
“We urge those who own such animals to be responsible. We do not want others to endure a tragedy as heartbreaking as the one we are experiencing,” Pereira’s aunt added.”
The dogs’ owner remains unidentified at this time.
Authorities are conducting an investigation into the attack and are considering pressing charges against the owner.
