In the UK, five-year-old Ryder Wells has become a target of ridicule for children and adults after being attacked by two Rottweilers.
The Daily Mail wrote about his story.
The tragedy happened when the child was two years old. He lost his right cheek, lower eyelid, 75 percent of his lips, his teeth and arms were broken, and his right lung was punctured. Doctors warned the child's mother, Brittany, that she was ready for anything. But the child survived, and the medical staff called it a miracle.
Ryder had to re-learn to eat and drink. He underwent 50 plastic surgeries. However, the horrible appearance of his face is frightening to many. The child wears glasses and a hat so that others cannot see his face.
Ryder will have to go through a series of operations.
Brittany says her son will never look like anyone else:
“My son faces many obstacles every day. But every day I tell her that everyone has a different beauty and it is normal to be different. He has his own circle of friends, and it makes my son feel confident. ”
