Watch: A Jogger attacked by a Pit Bull

A man who was jogging ended up being attacked by a Pit Bull during his exercising time. 

In a now viral video on Tik-Tok the man is seen jogging and as he was jogging he came across the Pit Bull who was with its owner. The Pit Bull started acting aggressive towards the jogger. Then later the Pit Bull started chasing the man while barking at him. 

However, the jogger kept calm, while people in the surrounding area were terrified.

The jogger explained in the video saying it happened too fast.

“ I don’t even know if I have time to blink. It all happened too fast. There was this dog that just ran so fast in my direction and just lunged right at me,” the jogger explained. 

It was a big dog. He was barking, he was off his leash, so I mean I did everything that I could to just dodge his lunges. He had his sight targeted on me, so that is why I didn’t want to trigger the dog anymore than this. So I knew if I ran he would be coming right after still so I kinda just bobbed and weaved and bobbed and moved as subtle as I could in those moments,” the jogger explained on Tik-Tok. 

He also revealed that the owner of the pet was having a hard time controlling the dog.

“She was struggling to grasp onto the leash and get on him,” he said.      

Many people were angry at the owner of the pet who did very little to stop the attack. Many people were convinced that the woman had no idea how to control her dog, who kept on trying to attack the man. 

The video has been viewed by over  8.5 million people. Many individuals on social media were impressed by the man’s ability to keep calm which allowed him to avoid a pit bull bite. 

Pit bulls have a bad reputation for attacking people and sometimes killing them.
