A Toronto woman was simply trying to take her three fluffy pups for a walk. But little did she know, one was just seconds away from being savagely attacked by a pit bull

It was a tragedy that happened in just a matter of seconds as the woman exited the first door out of her apartment building and the put bull launched its ferocious attack

As she opened the second door to let her dogs out into the sunshine a boy wearing a red shirt and rollerblades ran past her, clearly frightened.

That’s when the pit bull launched its attack, leaping onto the body of one of her dogs with such ferociousness that it pushed the smaller pup back into the building.

The woman tries desperately to pull on her dog's leash and get it to safety as the pit bull's owner runs back inside and attempts to calm his dog down.

At one point the pit bull can be seen with the small pup hanging from its mouth during the horrific attack

He kicks his dog multiple times before the pit bull finally releases the poor pup's body from his mouth.

The pup's lifeless body lays still on the floor as the woman looks down in shock.

She leans down to check if there is any chance her pup could still be alive, gently lifting up its body as her two other dogs stay outside, away from the pit bull.
