Brave passersby rescued him from the gruesome attack and called an ambulance. They then helped move the victim into a. emergency vehicle.
Pereira was rushed to Santa Cruz Hospital in central Pinhao where upon examination, it was discovered that the Pit Bulls had bitten off all of the skin on his face and left his skull completely exposed.
Unfortunately, he died at the hospital he due to his injuries.
Pereira’s distraught aunt told local media;
He was like a son. I raised him since he was two years old.
His family have accused the dogs’ owner of failing to keep the animals caged up properly.
Pereira’s aunt continued;
We ask people who have these animals to take care. We do not want other people to go through a situation as sad as the one we are going through.
The owner of the dogs was yet been identified and police are investigating the attack with the hoping of pressing charges against the owner
