A 38 year old Rancho Mirage man is dead today following an apparent attack by two Bull Mastiffs. Acccording toreports, the man was found in his back yard covered in blood with severe wounds on his forearms -- and both dogs, a male weighing 115 lbs and a female weighing 90 lbs, were found nearby. Authorities are reporting that the man may have been trying to separate the two dogs who may have been breeding at the time. The dogs were put down this afternoon at the request of the victim's girlfriend.
At least one neighbor is reported as saying that the dogs were not aggressive.
I'll report more on this as it becomes available. My heart goes out to the family.
Oh this is horrible.

Guessing he must have bled to death? I wonder if investigators will be able to figure out what happened.
