Brave Teen Scares Away Dog Attacking Little Cousin

A CCTV camera outside the Clayborn family home in Chicago, Illinois captured the heart-stopping moment when a dog attacked a young boy on his way to school.

Karl left his home and was on his way to school with his sister, Jamese, and cousin, Ciara, when a dog on the street attempted to attack the group. The dog managed to get a grip on Karl’s backpack with his mouth. Cousin Jamal quickly came to the rescue and scared the dog away by banging a broom on the ground beside the dog.

Jamal told Storyful, “I ran outside and saw my cousin [getting] attacked and I had ran out and hit the dog with a broom … and 30 seconds later the dog left.” Credit: Erica Clayborn via Storyful
