Bystanders armed themselves with anything they could to fend off two pit bull mixes as they brought a boy to the verge of death.
A recent court filing disclosed the harrowing detail, as 3-year-old Minnesotan Covil Allen's fate is all but sealed.
The court document also revealed the dogs were not full pit bulls, but a mix between a pit and an American bulldog.
Known as American bullies, the dog's breed boasts especially powerful jaws that inflict more damage than those of any other breed.
This likely proved fatal for Covil, who remains in critical condition. His family has made the difficult decision to donate his organs when they decide to take him off life support, as they said he is not expected to survive. His mom was injured during the July 19 attack as well, but will recover.
'There were adults in the area that started to defend the three-year-old by using hammers and pick axes to get the dogs off the three-year-old,' the filing said following the incident on N. Brooklyn Park Drive.
First responders arrived and gave immediate medical attention to the boy, the filing added - describing how he was subsequently taken by ambulance to a hospital with 'critical' injuries.
Police Inspector Elliot Faust went on to write how the dogs were not only just American bullies, but those of 'the XL variety,'
He noted how 'this breed is banned in the UK,' despite them not being officially recognized as a specific breed.

What??? Those sweet, gentle, loyal, lovable pets? How can that be??? π€
I just like owning a gun that can go off at anytime for any reason even when you don’t pull the trigger. I see all the usual pit bull apologetic’s have shown up to defend those monsters by spewing all of the talking points.
I don’t understand how anyone could own a pit bull when there are so many other dog breeds and shelter dogs who would love you to death for a home.
In many places (especially cities) the shelters are filled to the brim with pits and pit/mixes. It’s awful.
A dog nearly took my son’s face off when my son messed with him while he was eating.
Huskies can be roamers, but they are good dogs.
Terrible, horrible...
Sadly, daddy’s a dumbass. He will live with this stupid decision the rest of his stupid life. I feel so sad for that innocent child.
NEVER -—EVER disturb a dog that is eating
Sure thing boss. If you don’t believe dogs are hunting pack animals you need to study up on dog evolution.

WHAT was the father’s role - what did I miss?
Maybe you need to stop being a paranoid freak and get out and live a little.

I was attacked by a bullie. I am 6 feet 215 pounds. Could not get it off me. Ended up in a trauma center and had surgery.
>Sure thing boss. If you donβt believe dogs are hunting pack animals you need to study up on dog evolution.<
EXACTLY!
The only thing that will stop a dog that vicious is a bullet.
But, noooooo!
WOW. I am the dumbest and most ignorant, AND a freak, because I don’t put children in front of dogs and have declared dogs as hunting pack animals. I think I’ll be able to deal with that though I will probably cry myself to sleep. Do us all a favor and prove my ignorance and start placing your face in the face of every dog you see.
50 years of dog experience breeding and training bird dogs (with a few year absent while in college, living in Germany and my days in the CG) means nothing. You got me. I am ignorant, dumb, and a freak.
Regards.
I hate pit bulls and anything that looks like them. They have ruined all the pounds, nothing there but pit bulls and pit bull mixes.
The owner and his dogs must be put down ASAP.
