At just five, Ryder Wells has endured more than most in a lifetime.<\/p>\n
At 21 months, he was attacked by two rottweilers during a Thanksgiving visit in 2015, losing half his face, suffering broken bones, and a punctured lung. Despite the odds, he survived and underwent around 50 surgeries.<\/p>\n
