RUBIDOUX, Calif. — A 60-year-old man was mauled to death by a pair of pit bulls Friday in the backyard of his rural Southern California home.
The man was taking a cigarette break when the male and female pit bulls attacked him shortly after noon, said Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
The man, who was the grandfather of the dogs’ owner, died at the scene. His name was not released.
County Animal Services spokesman John Welsh said the dogs were euthanized later in the afternoon.
