Texas, November 24: A two-year-old boy suffered injuries to his stomach after being bitten by a Pitbull in Texas, US.  The horrifying incident unfolded when Wright-Haywood left her house to drop her toddler, CJ, off at the daycare on her way to work. Chante Wright-Haywood thought she saw a neighbourhood kid approaching her toddler CJ out of the corner of her eye. Realising it was a dog, she ran into the yard to save the child. The dog pounced on them, forcing the mother and the child to flee back inside their house. The owner of the dog has not been identified yet. The incident was recorded on the doorbell security camera, as per the WKRG report. US Dog Attack: Unarmed Black Man Was Attacked by a Police K-9 Dog Despite Surrendering in Ohio.

She kicked the agitated dog before picking up her son and fleeing for their lives inside the house. But their peril didn't end there.
