The meme is real.

No, really.

Watch this heroic pitbull literally dash across the waves to take down a kitesurfer in Argentina.

Okay, it wasn't a child, but Guerveno Cervino needed 18 stitches after that landshark grabbed hold of his upper arm. The story itself is from 2019, but I had to show it to you because it's going viral and one must never waste a chance to get people to argue about pit bulls.

Cervino is lucky the dog didn't drown him.

What happened to the pit bull, you ask?

No one knows. It's owner was never identified.

He's probably still out there in the water waiting for his next victim to come by.
