A heartwarming video showing a bullied child receiving a powerful escort from school by members of the K-Dogs Kidz Mission, a Pennsylvania-based anti-bullying biker group, has resurfaced on social media. Originally recorded five to six years ago, the clip recently regained traction after being shared on Instagram, garnering over a million views and widespread attention.
The video highlights the story of Zeke, a young boy who had endured relentless bullying for being “different” without his father’s knowledge. In an emotional Instagram post, the father recalled the devastating moment he learned about his son’s struggles.
“My son Zeke had been bullied all year, and I had no idea. One day, the school called with heartbreaking news—he had tried to choke himself in class and said he wanted to die. When I rushed there, he told me he had no friends and didn’t want to live anymore,” he wrote.
Desperate for help, he shared Zeke’s story in a local Facebook group, hoping to connect with other parents. That’s when K-Dogs Kidz Mission stepped in, offering to pick Zeke up from school in a show of solidarity. The group, known for its outreach efforts supporting bullied and disabled children, believed the grand entrance would help change how Zeke’s peers saw him.
“They wanted to show his classmates how ‘cool’ he really is. I agreed, and that day changed his life. He had the time of his life—and he hasn’t been bullied since,” the father wrote.
Who are the K-Dogs Kidz Mission?
K-Dogs Kidz Mission was founded by Donald Rozman in memory of his son, Kyle, who was killed in a car accident in 2014. The group, which operates across three counties in western Pennsylvania, is dedicated to supporting bullied and disabled children. Rozman, a former martial arts instructor and motorcycle enthusiast, created the initiative during one of the darkest times in his life, when he was recovering from life-threatening injuries sustained in separate incidents, both requiring medically induced comas, according to the New Castle News.
The organisation uses motorcycles and a black-and-gold Chevrolet Camaro, named “Bumblebee” after the Transformer character, to create a sense of excitement and empowerment among children facing adversity. The mission also seeks to build a community where bullied and disabled children can find friendships and support through regular meet-ups, including activities such as bowling nights.
Expanding efforts in schools
The group’s efforts go beyond individual interventions. With winter limiting their outdoor events, K-Dogs Kidz Mission has been reaching out to schools to introduce their anti-bullying programme. According to Rozman, the initiative offers an alternative to traditional school anti-bullying policies by providing a unique perspective through their biker persona.
“One thing we try to get the schools to understand is that we’re going to disregard their anti-bullying things. We’re just coming in with another type. When you’re coming in with the leather and things like that, they see a different perspective,” Rozman explained. His wife, Dr. Charlene Macri, who plays a key role in the mission, added, “It’s just someone else coming in, other than their teachers.”
Rozman and Macri hope that by fostering relationships with schools, teachers and counsellors can identify struggling students early and direct families to K-Dogs for help. “By the time we see it, usually it’s already been going on for a good while. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to fix,” Rozman said.
Building a future of support
While K-Dogs Kidz Mission currently focuses on individual interventions, Rozman envisions expanding the initiative to include structured support groups where children and families can interact regularly. “So many of the kids that are disabled or getting bullied, they might have no friends or one friend. I thought that it would be nice if we just had one day a month when everybody meets,” he said.
With the largest K-Dogs chapter now established in Lawrence County, the organisation continues to grow, adding more volunteers dedicated to its cause. Macri emphasised the importance of unity within the group, stating, “It’s a nice cohesive group. Everybody gets along, and that’s key.”
As for Rozman, he remains humble about his role in the organisation’s success. “Basically, I don’t do a lot. I’m just there, and they tell me what to do,” he said.
For now, K-Dogs Kidz Mission remains a beacon of hope for bullied children like Zeke, showing them that they are not alone—and that sometimes, a ride on the back of a roaring motorcycle can change everything.
The group is currently active in Pennsylvania and can be reached at +1 412-758-8199.
