Terrifying footage shows a pit bull attacking a two-year-old Texas boy as his mother desperately fights to save him.
Young CJ was attacked by the dog as he walked to daycare with his mother Chante Wright-Haywood.
The ferocious animal chased them all the way to their door, despite the frantic mother repeatedly kicking the dog to get him off.
Even once inside, the dog continued to punch the door, causing it to break off its hinges, as the terrified family cowered inside.
“You can hear him snapping like that trying to get to him (my son),” Wright-Haywood said WRKG news 5 after the brutal attack was captured on her doorbell camera.

‘I really just wanted people to take responsibility for their animals.’
Dog attacks in Austin have increased every year since 2007, the Austin-American Statesman reported.
