A resident experienced tense moments on Friday afternoon (27), in São João Batista (SC), when he was attacked by a pitbull that escaped from a house after the gate opened. Despite the severity of the situation, he suffered only minor injuries and is doing well.
It all started when the man went to the back of the house to get a chair. Upon returning, he noticed the gate was open and the pit bull was already preparing to leave. He tried to restrain the animal with the chair itself and prevent it from going out into the street.
Knowing the dog's owners, the resident tried to calmly resolve the situation. However, the pit bull charged, and the two ended up in a physical confrontation. The scene was captured on video: the man and the dog rolled on the ground as he tried to restrain the animal.
Even though he was injured, the resident managed to control the pitbull and put him back inside the house, locking the gate.
During the commotion, a pincher dog also took advantage of the situation and ran to bite the man, generating comments on social media about the little dog's unexpected behavior.
After the attack, the man went to his car to administer first aid and told reporters that he was fine. "I know the owners. I know it was an accident. I'm all right," he said.
Internet users criticized the lack of care with open gates and highlighted that the location, close to a busy street with children, could have been the scene of a tragedy.
The case serves as a warning for owners to pay extra attention to gates, locks and the safety of their animals, especially in residential areas with high foot traffic.
