Two American Bulldogs attacked five neighborhood children in New Jersey on Dec. 23.

The bulldogs escaped from their owner’s backyard. The four children, between the ages of 9-12, ran were playing outside of their house when they saw the dogs. They were frightened and ran inside of the house. The dogs managed to get in.

A 14-year-old brother to some of the children, heard the screaming and ran to the living room and began to push the dogs out with a shovel. He pushed them away until their owners came. He suffered multiple puncture wounds on his hands and legs. The owner of the dogs, handed them over to authorities and they were both euthanized.
