The parents of a two-month-old baby have been left devastated after their son was mauled to death by the family's pit bull.
Authorities in Dallas, Texas, say Brayden Lamar Wilson, was savaged while he sat in a bouncy chair at home.
The baby’s father had gone into the garden to turn off a garden sprinkler when the dog pounced.
As he came back into the house he was greeted by the sight of his son covered in blood as the attack continued.
As he tried to stop the attack, the mother walked in and was bitten twice by the animal.
Police say the father eventually managed to grab the dog by the collar dragging it outside before shooting it dead.
Brayden was taken to the Children's Medical Centre in Dallas, where he was pronounced dead.
There is no indication on whether any charges will be filed.
Child Protective Services said they will investigate the incident.
