The tornado survivor was just 5 years old, but his life ended quickly when he was mauled and killed by a dog owned by a family friend while his parents were fixing their home destroyed by the EF5 Oklahoma tornado, widest in the history of United States.

The tragic incident happened as the young tornado survivor was taken to a family friend's home to be cared for while the parents of him and his 2-year-old sister try to rebuild their home in Oklahoma.

The tornado survivor was throwing a tantrum over tying his shoes. The 15-pound dog, "possibly took [the boy's cries] as being aggressive," rushed in from another room and latched onto the crying boy.

The boy was unable to be separated from the dog, though a family friend have tried to pull them apart. The tornado survivor was sent to hospital quickly via an ambulance, but he was later pronounced to have been killed by the dog's powerful bites.

The dog has been killed by a neighbor two days after it has ran away.

The name of the tornado survivor killed has not been release yet due to the authorities still investigating this tragedy that cut the young tornado survivor's life short.
