Horrific moment crazed pit bull savages a tiny beagle and mauls its screaming owner as she tries to intervene in harrowing street attack
A couple who were at Boston for the Coldplay concert captured the horrendous scene unfold
THIS is the horrific moment a raging pit bull attacks a tiny beagle while its owner who screams for help desperately tries to save her pooch.
Footage of the vicious assault was uploaded on YouTube by Raphael Fortin who said he and his girlfriend were out visiting Boston, US, for the Coldplay concert when they "heard a loud yelling and shouting and realised that this was happening".
The couple captured the horrendous scene of a pit bull savaging a beagle while the owner of the smaller canine tries to intervene but ends up getting mauled herself.
The clip, which has been viewed more than 217,000 times, shows the beagle owner crying "help me" and "get it off her" as she lay injured and bloodied on the floor.

Onlookers can be seen trying to wrestle the raging canine, while another shockingly kicks the pit bull, before the two dogs are pulled apart.
The traumatised beagle appears to have suffered a neck bite but luckily did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
Cops arrived at the scene shortly after the fight was broken up.
Mr Fortin said: "The guy (who owned the pit bull) claimed that he got punched in the face which made his dog defend him and attack the smaller dog. I can't confirm if this is accurate.
He added: "What I find sad in this whole thing is that all the attention and care were given to the girl.
"The guy was left alone by the crowd and even the cops which didn't seem to care about him that much. The girl left in the cops car. I assume she went to the hospital."
