This is the horrifying moment two huge pit bull-type dogs maul a disabled man after knocking him out of his wheelchair.
Dozens of appalled neighbors were powerless to stop the two beasts from ripping 'chunks' out of the victim in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The dogs, named Jumpety and Boo-boo, had escaped from the yard of a single-story where they had been cared for by neighbors since their owner was jailed.
The victim, known as 'Smokie', was dragged over the sidewalk as onlookers honked their car horns and one edges his semi-trailer towards the bloodthirsty hounds.
'Everybody was gathering around, you know 20 or 30 people, throwing things and that worked for a while,' one neighbor told local10.
'But then they just kept going. Chopped man and you know his face was red.'
Two other dogs which neighbors said had recently moved into the yard are seen on the video barking wildly from behind the fence as the attack unfolds.
A wheel of the victim's overturned wheelchair spins uselessly in the air as the two pit bulls continue their frenzied attack.
Their victim was eventually airlifted to Jackson South Medical Centre where he underwent surgery for severe injuries to his arms, as it emerged that at least one of the dogs had attacked before.
Both animals were well known to neighbors and one said that Boo-boo was thought to be 'peaceful'.

And vicious, too.

Is it them, Boo-boo?
Get a load of those names! Might as well name them "Fang" and "Frenzy."

Great, another dog-hater article. Que all the Pittie haters to jump on the bandwagon and cry a river.
It’s never just a bad dog, it’s bad owners.
In this case, the owner was in jail, and someone was tending to their dogs. It’s probably a common situation.
What a bunch of BS.
There can ALAWAYS be bad anything.
Yet you took my comment completely out of context.
Yes, absolutely. This is in Florida, where over 10% of the population has a concealed carry permit, and you do not need a permit to carry concealed.
>> Is it legal to shoot dogs ripping flesh off such a person?
It’s mandatory from an ethical perspective.
>> Boo-boo was thought to be ‘peaceful’.
Well, THAT was a “boo-boo” if I ever saw one.
Pit bulls delenda est. On sight. They are time bombs with a lit fuse.
Forthwith
Prior, the dogs could’ve been “socialized”.
Too late now...
It should be.
I’m guessing you never had a child get his face ripped off from a pitt bull. Just a hunch.
In this case, the owner was in jail and they were being fed by a neighbor......
Call for dog control laws.
Is it legal to shoot dogs ripping flesh off such a person?
********
Of course.
But they are just sweet and loving and just misunderstood (eye roll?
Too bad someone didn’t have a pistol to administer some 9mm doses of sedation to the dogs.
Many years back I was doing some weatherization work in a welfare house in Detroit. The three generations of welfare rats in the house included a drug dealer son with a Corvette and a pit bull. Drug dealer wasn’t home and his pit bull walked outside and tore the legs off another dog in the backyard. Mama welfare rat was all scared of the dog since their were toddler future welfare rats in the house.
She asked us to kill the pit bull. Since the drug dealer had a .22 rifle in his room, we happily obliged.
