An elderly woman is currently in critical condition following a vicious attack by her seven Rottweilers. The 77-year-old was swiftly taken to the hospital after the unruly group of dogs assaulted her in Gravatai, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, over the weekend. This incident occurred just after a 70-year-old man was fatally attacked by four pit bulls in Minas do Leao, also in Rio Grande do Sul.
Reports indicate that the unnamed woman sustained severe injuries to her nose, ear, and several lower limbs, with part of her scalp torn off. The dogs involved in the attack were owned by the woman and were subsequently seized by the Municipal Guard.
Dr. Renato Fetter, who provided medical care to the patient, mentioned that she was fortunate to survive the ordeal. He described her injuries, stating that she had lost the tip of her nose, suffered a nasal fracture, had her ear completely damaged, and endured mutilations on her lower limbs.
In a separate tragic incident, market trader Paulo Roberto de Carvalho, 63, lost his life in Duque de Caxias, Baixada Fluminense, after being attacked by two pit bulls a week earlier. Following his tragic death, his family paid tribute to him as a hard-working family man.
Another heartbreaking event occurred when a newborn baby was fatally attacked by the family’s dog, a five-year-old husky-pit bull mix. The one-week-old infant, Jason Anthony Weaver, born on August 28, succumbed to injuries sustained in the attack on September 7. Despite efforts by medics to save the baby’s life, he was pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
In a recent incident in northeastern Indiana, US, a five-month-old boy was fatally mauled by a dog after his mother left him in the care of relatives on her birthday. Sheriff Mike Chitwood of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department expressed deep sorrow over the tragic case, emphasizing the heart-wrenching nature of the situation.
The family of the infant posted an online obituary to commemorate his life. Little Jason Anthony (Weaver) Kinsey, aged 7 days, from Markle, passed away on the evening of September 4, 2025. The family described his fondness for music and his love for the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”
Tragic circumstances unfolded when the great-grandmother found the child covered in blood and unresponsive next to their 130lb Great Dane and husky mix. Despite immediate efforts to seek medical help, the child could not be saved, leading to a devastating outcome for the family.
Sheriff Chitwood expressed profound sadness at a press conference, highlighting the immense tragedy faced by the family and the emotional toll of the loss. The community mourned the loss of young lives in these distressing incidents.
