Tragedy Strikes Family A Mere 22 Minutes After Rescuing This Pit Bull

A New York man rescued a pit bull from a shelter 22 minutes before it was scheduled to be put down. However, the dog ended up being euthanized anyway after it attacked the man's daughter.

Stephen*Neira, 40, of*Patchogue, New York, found the 2-year-old pit bull, Alex, Thursday on*a website for rescuing pets on "death row," The Associated Press reports.*The dog reportedly had 22 minutes to live before it was set to be put down.

Neira's*family welcomed the puppy into their home on Sunday after he passed behavioral tests, but moments after Alex entered*the home, things took a turn for the worse.

Upon entering the home, Alex attacked*Neira's*16-year-old daughter, biting into her face and throat, according to the Daily Mail.

The teen was brought to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she underwent plastic surgery to repair her lip. The girl remained in the hospital as of Monday.

The dog was tranquilized and taken to the Brookhaven animal shelter. After an agreement was reached between*Neira*and*an agency involved in the case, Alex was euthanized that day.

"It was supposed to be a beautiful, beautiful day; instead my wife can't stop crying,"*Neira*told*Newsday. "We were giving the dog a new life."
