An 11-year-old boy is enjoying a flash of fame in Brazil after biting a pit bull terrier that attacked him as he played in his uncle’s back yard, local media reported.

Gabriel Almeida, who lives on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais, broke a canine tooth when he bit into the dog’s neck to fend off an attack.

Since then, he has been pampered in the studios of several TV stations, where he has been recounting his ordeal.

“I grabbed him by the neck and bit,” he told O Globo newspaper. “It’s no big deal. It’s better to lose a tooth than to lose your life.”
