The vicious dog manages to catch up to Mr Cervino and sinks its teeth into his upper arm
Footage filmed on Gustavo Cervino's camera, off the coast of Punta Rasa, in San Clemente del Tuyu, shows the canine heading straight for the kitesurfer as he glides across the water.
The raging dog then leaps into the air and sinks its teeth into Mr Cervino's upper arm before he manages to wrestle the animal off.

Lavanya Bharti, a resident of Ganiyadyoli in Ranikhet, was outside her home playing with a group of children when a pack of dogs attacked her. She received severe injuries in her windpipe and other body parts, Rajendra Bharti, the father of the deceased child, said.
"My child lost her life without any fault of hers. Who is to be held responsible for her death?" her father said.
Officials said they have counted around 1,102 birds which includes 590 egrets, 360 parakeets and 152 crows - and all of them were found dead in Khamarpani and Kanhar villages.
The dead birds were examined and cremated in compliance with the necessary guidelines.

Lucas Sjostrom, executive director of the Minnesota Milk Producers Association, said some tanker trucks haven't been able get down snow-choked rural roads to pick up milk.
"There are tons and tons of dairies around the state that had to dump milk in recent days," he said. "I know it's in the hundreds. It may be over 1,000 dairies."
Sjostrom also said roofs caved in on at least 20 Minnesota dairy barns — in some cases killing and injuring cows.
He said a roof failure was the final straw for a fifth-generation Olmsted County farm family, who sold their herd after years of low milk prices.
February was a recording breaking month for snowfall in eastern Idaho and just over the border into Wyoming. Island Park, Picabo in Blaine County, Stanley, Swan Valley and Jackson, Wyoming all broke snowfall records for February.
"A lot of near-record or record-breaking snowfall totals for the month of February. Island Park takes the proverbial cake with this one," National Weather Service Meteorologist Alex DeSmet told EastIdahoNews.com.
Island Park received a total of 105.6 inches of snow in February. The previous record was 78 inches in 1949. That's a difference of 27.6 inches.
"It's already a snow place and to break the record by that wide of a margin is pretty impressive," DeSmet said.
Fires rage in Bunyip State Park
More than 30 fires are burning across the state, following lightning strikes, blistering temperatures and searing winds.
Five buildings, including three homes, were destroyed by Sunday afternoon.
Two of those homes were in the Garfield North area near the Bunyip State Park, where a fire has already burned through 6000 hectares and is racing towards the Princes Highway.
"This is an active fire. It is moving, and there is every likelihood there will be further property losses," Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp told reporters.

In fact, February 2019 was the coldest February on record in Metro Vancouver since the records began in 1937. Not only did the month see some frigid temperatures, but they also persisted throughout the month.
Vancouver Is Awesome spoke to Matt MacDonald, Meteorologist, Environment Canada, who explained just how the chilly the month was.
"We typically see around seven days in the double digits during the month of February," he described. "We didn't have a single day above 10 degrees this month."
Comment: Although 97 mm (3.81 inches) of rain doesn't sound very much, this region has a desert climate with about 176 mm (6.92 inches) of rain in an entire year and a downpour such as this in just 30 hours is devastating.
