That's when 19-year-old neighbor Grant Brown heard the boy screaming and ran over to distract the dog while the boy escaped.

"As soon as I noticed I just ran over there without thinking and I didn't know how, but I knew I had to get the dog off of the boy," said Brown.

Both the boy and the hero neighbor were bitten but will be okay.
