A former LAPD officer and Vietnam veteran lived some of his most difficult moments in the most unexpected way: in his backyard being attacked by aggressive bees in a dramatic incident that occurred in the Los Angeles city of Diamond Bar .

Bob Ramos related in a interview with the ABC7 channel the unfortunate attack that sent him to the hospital with more than 50 bites and that cost the lives of two of his daughter’s dogs that he was caring for , which is why he broke into crying in front of the camera.

Ramos said he heard something was going on in his backyard Saturday afternoon and that when he went out to find out he discovered that his daughter’s two dogs – Maggie and Allie – were struggling to survive, with countless bees on top of they. The bites were fatal.

“It’s bad enough if you lose an animal, but if you’re taking care of someone else’s animal and they get hurt, you feel even more responsible,” he said between Ramos tearfully speaking at home, at Diamond Bar

The desperation of the little dogs was so great that they even broke the mesh of the door. At least Ramos’s dog, Rolo, survived the attack because he’s big and has more hair.

When he came to the aid of the dogs, Ramos also began to be attacked , and when his wife saw that he was not well, he called firefighters.

Ramos said that the hive from which the bees came was on his neighbor’s property and that it was taken down. You think that’s why they were so aggressive.

“It is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. It was a swarm, and they were very aggressive ”, the man who worked at the LAPD for almost three decades confided to the channel.

“I was in Vietnam. I was in the Police department for 27 years. I have seen many things. I have seen death. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so terrifying. ”
