A surveillance video captures the incredible moment a US woman shields her son as they are attacked by vicious dogs.
The attack, which occurred in California, started when the boy, who’d been standing alone in the front yard, was targeted by the dogs. His mother quickly rushed to his aid, grabbing him and making a dive for their home, but things got worse when she couldn’t find her keys.
The dogs followed them and got even more aggressive, biting and scratching.
Amazingly, the mother shielded her son with her body, trying all she could to prevent further harm on the little boy. They were eventually helped by a neighbour who had heard the woman’s screams for help.
The boy suffered some major injuries and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.
