A Kid Mauled by 5 Pit Bulls (A Near Death Experience) 

He is so mature for his age!

🥰❤️

What a gorgeous brave little boy

.. maybe because he went through depression at such a young age himself 😢god bless him 🙏🏼

A beautiful boy! So brave!

Poor girl. You can tell she still feels bad about it all.

He has such a good heart

And then he feels guilty and tries to make everyone happy. This poor, sweet family. They obviously love each other so much.

I hope the siblings read this comment. Pitbulls are banned from whole countries because of their prey drive and irresponsible owners. Wish everyone the best.

Exactly.

What is "prey drive"?

no such thing as a nanny dog... people who leave their offspring with a damn beast have something wrong with their brain.

Pitbulls should not be able to be owned by the public.

That last sentence is beautifully put.

Right? I wish I could hug her and convince her that did everything right.

The whole family was just beautiful. They were so lovely. Chris is always amazing too.

Hearing her made me cry. Being the oldest daughter in Latin households, you're raised to look after your siblings & in turn, we see them as our own babies. Her pain comes from not being able to be the one to prevent his pain, but in time, she will see the labor of her love in his character. This entire family is a beautiful example of love prevails all.

Till you cease trusting them to be let loose in society, how many more people should be ripped off by pit bulls?

❤😢

​@@mtmm1473, listening to the father is so distressing. I'm fighting tears.

Adorable & so strong.

@@loisdungey3528yes i’m not fighting the tears. It’s absolutely gut wrenching, heartbreaking to know what he really went through. Definitely hard to listen to him Explain the situation.

NO. Things with sharp fangs aren't harmless

@@SatanenPerkeleit’s not about learning that they aren’t dangerous but about stopping the subconscious brain from overworking. ptsd panic isn’t like normal panic and won’t protect you from harmful things, if anything it can make things more harmful as you are more likely to freeze in dangerous situations and hurt yourself

​@@SatanenPerkeleNobody said dogs are harmless, humans aren't so harmless either.

@@bexscarecrow Nothing wrong with being in tune with your survival instincts. Why deny and hide reality? This boy has all the right to reject "mans best friend cute doggo puppers" after what they did to him.

He can decide that he doesn’t like dogs but unfortunately out in public or walking down the street there will be dogs. It would be less stressful for him if he didn’t have a panic attack every time he goes out in public because he sees a dog.

He is the most adorable thing! His expressiveness and enthusiasm is contagious. He's so animated and funny! ("I want to be Sonic , you can be tails") 😅😅 so adorable

@@sunnydayzie1202 his commitment to the roleplaying made me lmao, like no Chris you have to pick a character from the same cinematic universe 🙄😂

@@claudias2340what?

​​@@Divine_Names At some point in the video, JJ tells Chris that he wants to be Sonic the Hedgehog. Chris replies that he wants to be Batman, so JJ tells him that he needs to choose a character from the same universe 🎯😊

@@aguskumito Ohhh! Ty.

❤❤

God bless you!!!

My thoughts exactly!

The doctors did a phenomenal job, my immediate thought after hearing the insane amount of work that had to be done to put his face back together.

Yes indeed. Alhamdulillah he is Still beautiful.. considering the degree of his injuries. God saved him❤

And he will most likely look better since he still has some surgeries before him, honestly amazing

​@@Adelka_Matlovcova Yup that's true

All this just so dogs can stick around, it’s amazing how this is considered a first world country.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 I'm not sure what you mean?

⁠@@notyourtypicalcomment2399are you saying dogs shouldn’t be allowed in a first world country…?

"Bad dog, bad dog... and they just ate me." That ripped a hole on my heart. Thank you for sharing your son's story. He's one TOUGH little dude! And adorable, inside and out!

I know; that brought tears to my eyes too! It's like, just celebrating the small things that JJ is HERE to eat the chip... He made me think of a little neighbor girl, a toddler, whose family dog, a pitbull, bit her in the face not once, but twice before they got rid of him/put him down, and that after they swore up and down he'd never hurt anyone or anything... I'm totally bias here, but I feel glad that if I had to fall in love with any breed, I'm so glad it ended up being standard poodles... A pitbull could be the best-trained dog in the world, and I'd still be very wary because it seems like toddlers/small children, especially, are easy pickings for them, even in their own family.

i felt much of the same when watching. very well said! :). very beautiful family. EDIT: also want to add that what the dad did was amazing. i'm sure in his mind it's simply just what he had to do, but part of me wonders if i would ever be able to do the same if i had a child. i would hope so. but right now it is hard to imagine tbh. lovely family. i really wish them all the best.

I want to hug them. All of them. His sisters sound so heartbroken. I pray with all my heart that they and their parents, and JJ, can find some sort of healing as time goes on. My heart goes out to them so, so much. I can't even imagine...

Wow , well said ! 😍 JJ is definitely a testament to how loving and strong his family is

Wow, so beautifully articulated in what you wrote here. ❤

You took the words out of my mouth. ❤

Yes my cousin’s baby had numerous surgeries from birth defects and she’s 24 now and the scars are really better.

He’ll grow up looking like a badass.

They weren't dogs, they were pit-bulls.

This⬆️

Yes, this.

Why are pets that can do this to people still sold and labelled as pets? Tigers and other large sharp fanged predators are outruled as pets because of them being capable of horrors like this.

It really was a miracle. ❤🙏

It was a miracle from God 🙌🏼

both of them are miracles. not sure how persistent pits are when they’re in an aggressive state, but the father could’ve been greatly injured as well, which if that happened, lord knows if and how the situation could’ve escalated. that dog could’ve injured his hand, i mean who knows!! god was there with the both of them, and yes that graphic description… god was definitely there with that baby. i mean, i can’t wrap my head around how he was able to survive it.

@@COZMIC_RAY amen

His Dad saved him. If his Dad didn’t intervene the dogs wouldn’t have stopped. His Dad deserves all the credit!

I missed the information about the dogs or they didn’t talk about them. Did they own the dogs or were they strays?

@@Moonbunny55 the pitbulls belonged to one of their neighbors, so neither

Me too

💖💖💖

Same xx❤

Don't cry because the boy seems happy. And all things considered looks great!!

It wasn't attempted murder. ​@@Stacy_KP

sadly most owners of these breeds don't have the money to help the victims let alone for their beasts of burden.

@@magicalone22 that’s the worst thing about pit bulls, that people who shouldn’t have them are the ones who take them in

Jailed

I agree!!! The owners should also get jail time!

Yes😢 🙏

❤ Yes.

Hopefully they will get better with time. JJ was luckily too young to fully understand it

It's trauma

Well yeah, that and anger. Rightfully. They need to ban them so no more JJ incidents happen.

It hurts to see her relieve the pain. Amazingly strong family

❤❤❤❤

There also might be some anger, understandably, not because anyone is to blame in the family, but because it's a natural emotion to feel.

@@positivelastaction3957probably goes through so many different emotions when reliving that day and the aftermath of it all

Dogs are the opposite of a pet

I know nothing about the circumstances of this case, but it makes me wonder if those dogs were used for fighting, breeding, or other animal abuse. There is no reason one person should have that many pit bulls.

@@ladycaticorn2950 They have sharp teeth. Those teeth aren't there for decoration.

​@@ladycaticorn2950all pitbulls are bred for fighting, that's the breed! If there's 5 of them I expect backyard breeder.

@@SatanenPerkele Yup. Every facet of the pit bull's body was designed for fighting and allowing the animal to take as many hits as possible without becoming incapacitated. These dogs were designed to be champion fighters, and their bodies show it. They should not be kept as pets or allowed in public or residential areas.

I really hope his siblings continue getting better. They all will remember that day way more than JJ. I can't imagine. they all seem like such sweet kids.

I wish there was a gofund me to help raise funds to get therapy for them all 🥺 What a devastating experience for them all!

Yeah, it was so humbling to see how much it has affected each of them. Heartbreaking that one day really did such a 180 on everyone.

Hopefully time will heal them ❤

I feel so sorry for them. But they seem to really be there for each other which is so beautiful.

Beautifully said.

She sounds like she has PTSD and considering what happened very not surprising. As someone with PTSD I've said the exact same things. It's been x amount of time, I should be healed and over it by now. I've addressed it. Etc. I had social anxiety after trauma as well, I also said the same about not feeling safe outside and would avoid that. I wish she knew that trauma can re-wire the brain. The body changes and I hope she can have grace for herself and understanding that it's not her fault she still feels this way or is this way. The body is doing what it can to "survive." As someone with PTSD I see myself in her so much. There is help with CBT and EMDR

heartbreaking just so heartbreaking. i hope the family can heal.

Yes, me too 😢sweet girl, I hope she will get over the guilt feeling. It was not her fault and never will be. I hope she will find some peace. And indeed, for grief/trauma, there is no time.

⁠@@affectedhalfthe way she disassociates while her husband tells the story makes it pretty obvious that she has PTSD. She also blames herself and you could hear her husband try to place some of the blame on himself by saying he was the one that asked her to grab his slippers and that when it happened. So absolutely heartbreaking. The blame is on the owner of those dogs.

But how could they leave a child alone on the street in this age? I really don't understand.

⁠@@calimero600they did not leave them in the street! The kids were playing in their own yard. Their Mom was watching them and stepped away momentarily to bring some slippers to their Dad… which you would know had you actually watched the video. The parents were in no way responsible for this. There were FIVE LOOSE PITBULLS.

@@calimero600they didn’t. Jose was right there and has addressed this numerous times and you people keep cycling back on it. Stop putting out malicious lies.

@@calimero600 You're not a parent, are you? They didn't leave him alone, stop putting more guilt onto this family, they've suffered enough.

They are an amazing family

The owners always blame the victim. They are deplorable people.

In most cases the owner blame the victim

This is the second comment of a dog attack where the cause is an owner that chooses not to discipline their dog. So sad.

@@allieanderson4783 pits can't be disciplined or controlled. they represent 6% of dog breeds but account for 60+% of all fatal attacks.

People really need to stop adopting/breeding pit bulls if they aren't going to properly train them. They're great animals, but they require a LOT of time and care because of the way they've been bred and handled over the years.

and the siblings are incredible too!!

@@chanalexa6923 100% agreed!

Sorry for your loss

🫂❤️‍🩹

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry 😢

I'm so sorry for your loss 😞

I was bit as well & ever since, I don't trust dogs either. I have a dog, she's very protective. She lets me do anything to her. But I still understand that she is a dog ; capable of hurting me if she were to take the notion. People need to be more aware & stop treating dogs like baby humans.

@kp8740 I was bit on the face by a dog too but 10 Years ago, I feel your pain

I've been @ttacked unprovoked by dogs 5 times. Why these sharp fanged & violent things are sold as pets is baffling. Dogs are unsuitable as pets.

@@SatanenPerkele Nah, you were probably doing something to annoy them, if that is your attitude no wonder dogs attack you.

@@SatanenPerkelehonestly no wonder, they probably sensed you’re a bad person. Never trust someone who doesn’t like dogs

The dad is very articulate. Can convey exactly what he's thinking clearly and concisely. I can see why their kids are pretty dang smart.

My 6 year old son watched this with me. At our bedtime prayers he asked that God would heal his scars. 🙏

​@@MsRachelleDAYou have clearly done a great job teaching your son empathy for others. May he always have such a tender heart.

LOL

LOL

Why anyone would need 5 pitbulls is beyond me. That type of dog needs to stop being bred

I was disappointed in The Dodo and Girl With The Dogs that they allow these kinds of uncontrollable savages on their channels.

@@Quibblet​​⁠huh? Please… educate yourself. Unless the particular dogs featured on the channel are mauling people or uncontrollable….you have no justifiable reason to be upset that the dog is featured on the channel simply because of their breed.

@@sunflowerlady2057 🙄

Same! Been following since shortly after the attack.

Do you happen to know JJ's family's Instagram? I used to follow them in an older account and i'd love to follow their journey again!

⁠@@pugpukeit’s @babyjjsjourney :)

How long ago was his attack?

I remember first seeing him after the attack. I can't believe how well he's recovered already, it's staggering. I am amazed by these incredible parents too. They are super humans.

💚

Just don’t get a pit bull or pit bull mix and you’ll reduce the chances of the dog you own doing this by like 90%.

@@ticktickboom29 as long as you don't get a pit or pit mix or you will most likely be fine

Bloodsport breeds are ticking time bombs and refusing to own one is what every smart and responsible person does. You can't be responsible enough to erase genetics if you want a companion dog or a guard dog get one, just don't get a fighting dog unless you want them to fight for entertainment because that's what they were bred to do.

Do. Not. Get. A. Pitbull. Or. Pitbull. Mix. Owning one in and of itself makes you an irresponsible dog owner.

Phew thank Gody she was okay now

@@Preppybabiess 🙏🏻 Thank you!!!

What is up with pit owners? There is a pit in my neighborhood that is loose at least once a week, for 4 years now. Luckily, he doesn't seem to be aggressive, and neighbors usually bring him back to his house, but that could change in a second. My 7 year old and 5 year old like to ride their bikes on the sidewalk, and I'm afraid that them going by quickly will set that dog off. I don't want to be that neighbor, but I've been wanting to just call the police to report the dog at this point.

@@Trogdor1365 You need to report it ASAP so they have a record. Almost every city has ordinances against dogs running loose.

@@catherinelw9365 I agree. Report it!

'You can tell he's such a handsome boy'... Why can't you just say that 'he is' a handsome boy?

In some countries he'd go to jail

The owner is dead I believe 👍🏼

@@shawnr590 why?

The owner got away with it and the dogs lived. The owner passed away now

​@@HeyItsZee_ this. they got to keep 2 dogs i believe. imagine this happened to the son of a politician thought.

This is amazing to read. Everything is so, so true. You are a gifted writer if the truth.

A daddy his boys real hero ❤❤❤❤ amazing lil boy xxxxx

I agree. People get so mad at the idea but we're not saying to cull existing animals. Let them live their lives to the end in happy, loving homes. But stop breeding them so that in a generation or two, there won't be any more.

Thank you

Well said.👏

100% and I'm tired of pitbull apologists pretending that they're just like any other dog or are even "nanny dogs". So careless!

Perfectly written.

Thank you for being a responsible dog owner and having good perspective on this.

That poor dog. 😢

​@@155chipmunkzjust stop it. Poor dog? Go with your bambinism somewhere else. It got what it deserves.

U should start something to ban bully breeds.

​@@155chipmunkz The poor dog...?

@@155chipmunkzno. Absolutely not.

I was thinking the same. He is beautiful, I don’t care what others think!

amen. They're not pets and never will be, and you're absolutely right -- you can raise them right and they'll still revert to their blood sport genetics. Its sad that these sociopathic owners need these genetic meat grinders in the first place.

Those are bullies not pits.

@@crazymeteorites3653 Are you serious? Bullies are in the same category. They're both the same in most aspects. Their temperaments are similar and you're missing my entire point. 😮‍💨🤦🏻‍♀️

@@Just.Stacey27 Do you even know the full context of the pitbulls you were around? Their full history? How their owners treated them? If their body language was misread? Now I am not telling you to get a pitbull cause that's not my point but pitbulls have been victims of a vast amount of misinformation, myths and lies such as being "genetically predisposed" to aggression which they are not (in fact they have great temperaments). Plus pitbull attack stories and statistics can be inflated due to misidentification. The few personal experiences you have witnessed do not represent the breeds (as pitbulls in case multiple breeds) entire character. There are no bad dogs only bad owners who should be held accountable for their training (as due to the stigma surrounding pitbulls some human trashbags will raise them to be that way) I am leaving this comment not to belittle or insult you. I'm leaving this as a opportunity to open your mind. Cause as a person who is passionate about education I want to spread educational awareness as much as I can

@@crazymeteorites3653 yeah as soon as you mix a pit bull with something else their genetics just melt away into thin air right?

I would imagine it's hard not to feel guilty especially when I have seen numerous comments victim blaming and trying to say this was their fault

Wow I am so sorry, I agree with you... these animals can change in one instant it's just not safe at all

You need to be extra careful. Dogs don't like people in their face

I have a husky and my son is two. I do not allow him to get near his face, sit on him, pull on him. My son gives him treats and he knows that what the dog has is his and how to give a treat and my dog takes treats great from him but I am right there always and he does not take it away or try. I started this as soon as he was walking. The problem is people are so nonchalant about safety for their children and the dog itself. Stuff can STILL happen. So this is training a child and the dog together. I tell you what that baby is my dog's best friend but he's still an animal and can be unpredictable so I watch them together closely.

I would not either, even with my own dog who has slightly been around small kids, my cousins are actually visiting from canada and they have 2 girls who are twins almost 2 yrs old , we keep my dog in the backyard away from them at all times

@@vj8406 The statistics not only “found Pit Bulls to account for 66% of deaths, but Rottweilers made up 10%, followed by German Shepherds, then mixed breeds, then American Bulldogs, then Mastiffs, and next are Huskies”.

I hope the dog owner was put in jail ?

​@@AS-qg1xulast I heard (maybe a year ago) the owner pretty much got away free. Even got to keep some of the dogs. I'm trying to find newer information and some people are saying the dog owner has died.

yea but lookism

You think he wants to have a cool story to tell?!

A “cool story”??? Be so forreal…

Cool story?? No

He looks super incredible tbh. But I worry about when he becomes a teenager or pre-teen and starts to become more conscious of the way he looks. I hope he takes it as well as he can.
