In a harrowing incident captured on CCTV, a 15-year-old boy named Altaf was viciously attacked by a neighbor's pet pit bull in Ghaziabad, near Delhi. Despite being floored by the charging dog, Altaf fought valiantly as onlookers failed to intervene.


The distressing footage shows Altaf desperately kicking and rolling on the ground in an attempt to fend off the aggressive pit bull. Shockingly, a man and a woman watched from a distance but did not step in to help. Fortunately, someone threw water to distract the dog momentarily, allowing Altaf to regain his footing and flee toward safety.



As Altaf clung to a door, trying to seek refuge, a heartwarming sight unfolded. A pack of brave stray dogs rushed to his aid, fearlessly confronting the pit bull and providing him with the opportunity to escape into the safety of his home. This heroic act highlights the bond between humans and animals, showcasing the selflessness and compassion of these stray dogs.


The family owning the aggressive pit bull had recently relocated to Ghaziabad. Despite warnings from neighbors, they kept a dog known for its aggressive tendencies, leading to this tragic incident. The Municipal Corporation has since seized the dog, and investigations are underway.



Neighbor Kamlesh Singh emphasized that the family had been cautioned against keeping such a breed in the area. However, no formal complaint had been lodged with the local police prior to the attack.


Altaf is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Delhi; his condition is reported as critical. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership and the need for community awareness regarding potentially dangerous breeds. As the community rallies around Altaf, the bravery of the stray dogs stands as a testament to the power of compassion in the face of adversity.
