At just five years old, Ryder Wells from North Carolina has endured unimaginable challenges. In 2015, while visiting family for Thanksgiving, Ryder was brutally attacked by two 100-pound rottweilers at just 21 months old. The attack left him with severe injuries, including the loss of half his face, crushed teeth, a broken arm, and a punctured lung.
Defying the odds, Ryder survived and has since undergone around 50 surgeries. However, instead of receiving universal admiration for his resilience, he often faces cruel remarks and stares. His mother, Brittany, recalls heartbreaking moments, like children calling him a “monster” at the park.
Despite these challenges, Ryder’s strength and determination inspire those who know his story.
Rather from receiving recognition for surviving such a terrible assault, this adorable youngster must now put up with hurtful remarks from both kids and adults.
Even the grownups would gaze at Ryder when he first started school, according to his teaching assistant.
According to The Mirror newspaper, mom Brittany claimed, “There’s a child who points and screams’monster’ at him before running away when we go to the park.”
“Someone yelled “ew” at him while he was out shopping the other day. As a mom, I find it difficult and heartbreaking that, despite everything he has endured, people aren’t always kind about something he can’t control.
