New surveillance video shows the moment a loose pit bull attacked and killed a small family dog in Brazil.
The attack took place at around 5:45pm local time Saturday in Jibran El Hadj, Anápolis.
Video shows a female pit bull approach three smaller dogs walking with a family — when it suddenly latches onto one and attacks it.
The man walking the three smaller dogs then grabs the pit bull and punches it, in a desperate attempt to get the animal off his small companion, but in vain. Footage shows the small dog collapse to the ground and eventually succumb to its injuries.
The family is now asking for help to find the owner of the pit bull that killed their beloved pet, after police allegedly refused to take action, saying sanctions could only be applied once the owner was identified.
The beast remains on the streets at this time.
