Originally posted by RT Television Network, the clip shows the dog suddenly lunging at the young child on a snow-covered street. With no immediate help nearby, the mother instinctively throws herself over her child, using her own body as a shield while the aggressive dog towers over them.

In the footage, the mother is seen lying on the snow, her hands visibly injured and bleeding, as the Rottweiler barks aggressively at onlookers. Despite suffering serious wounds, she holds tight to her child, refusing to let go until assistance arrives. Emergency services later took her to a hospital, where she received treatment for multiple injuries, including a significant fracture.

Authorities reported that the dog had escaped from a nearby home and was wearing a metal collar, indicating it was a pet and not a stray.

This harrowing incident has sparked intense online debate. Some argue that the blame rests with the dog’s owner rather than the animal itself, sharing stories of raising Rottweilers without aggression. Meanwhile, others are calling for stricter laws on powerful dog breeds, with some demanding mandatory euthanasia for dogs involved in attacks.

The event comes shortly after the Indian state of Goa imposed a ban on Rottweilers and Pitbull Terriers, citing safety concerns. The ban prohibits the import, sale, and breeding of these breeds within the region.
