The following case might include content some readers find too painful. Trigger warning.

This fatal pitbull attack occurred in 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙖 𝙑𝙚𝙣𝙚́𝙘𝙞𝙖, 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙡. The community was in shock after the family pit bull of 8 years randomly tore apart the family’s son, 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙤𝙨𝙤, who was just 4 years old at the time.

🏡 Heitor was happily playing in their backyard around 3pm in the afternoon while his mother, 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙯𝙖 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤, was inside the house watching him through the window. His father, 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙤𝙨𝙤, was also outside chatting with a neighbor. That’s when their beloved family pitbull for 8 years suddenly began mauling Heitor without warning.

🚨 Willan returned home saw his son being savagely attacked. He tried desperately to save Heitor, but the powerful pet refused to stop. Hearing the screams, a family friend and military police officer rushed to help. Witnesses tried to stop the dog with clubs, but it would not release the child even under pain. Left with no other choice, the officer shot the dog twice.

Despite all of the adults trying their best, Heitor suffered catastrophic injuries, including a severe hemorrhage from punctured blood vessels in his neck and exposure of his skull. His parents rushed him to 𝙎𝙖̃𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙤𝙨 𝙃𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 but he was pronounced gone on arrival.

💔 The attack was so horrific and sudden that the hospital treated the parents for shock. Heitor’s body was transported to the 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖 for autopsy.

The neighbor who sh/t the dog tried to gather the family’s documents from the house for the hospital but was attacked by their other dogs. He allegedly ended those dogs, too. The case remains under police investigation.

😢 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨. When pitbull apologists try to convince you that #pitties are safe because their dog has not yet attacked, remember these cases. This family was known by their community to be loving and good owners. They raised this pit for 8 years without incident, including 4 years alongside their child. And in the end, bloodsport #genetics won again.

𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧. 🕊💙 We will make sure your name is never forgotten.
