At just 21 months old, Ryder Wells survived a horrific attack by two Rottweilers that left him with life-changing injuries. He lost part of his face, suffered broken bones, a punctured lung, and has since undergone around 50 surgeries.
Doctors never expected him to survive, but Ryder proved everyone wrong.
Despite everything he has overcome, his biggest challenge now is not his injuries—it’s the cruel reactions from others. Children and even adults have stared, pointed, and called him hurtful names because of his appearance.
His mother reminds him every day that he is beautiful and that being different is something to be proud of.
Ryder’s story is a reminder that kindness costs nothing, and everyone deserves to be treated with compassion.
