Dogs are often seen as adorable furry pets but they may not necessarily be a pleasant sight every time. While the canines are trusted companions for many, horrifying incidents of dogs attacking people are also reported.

In a shocking footage from China, a father can be seen fighting off a dog which attacked a toddler. The video shows the child walking behind his parents when the dog comes into view and rips off his head open.

The man runs to his child’s help and kicks the dog away after which he can be seen punching it. The dog retaliates by biting him on the chest following which the man kills the dog in anger.
