A devastating dog attack occurred in Auckland last weekend, resulting in the death of a man who was viciously attacked by three dogs. The dog owner has been arrested and faces a felony charge.
The Oakland Police Department reported that the attack occurred on 36th Avenue in the Fruitvale neighborhood, near Cesar Chavez Park, just before noon on Sunday. When police arrived, they found a man with multiple dog bites who was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to KTVU, family members identified the deceased as Robert Holguin, who was under his car when the incident occurred. Robert was allegedly attacked by three dogs weighing over 100 pounds that escaped from a yard. The dogs were identified as a cross between Italian Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff.
