Texas man arrested after 7 dogs mauled 71-year-old man to death [View all]

A Texas man was arrested after his seven dogs mauled a 71-year-old man to death while walking to a neighborhood store last week, authorities said.

The victim, identified as Freddy Garcia, was walking to the store around 1:30 p.m. on July 18 when he was attacked by the seven dogs in the city of Fresno, just south of Houston, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. Officers arrived on the scene and Garcia was taken to a hospital in Houston, where he was later pronounced dead.

In a news conference, Sheriff Eric Fagan said Garcia was walking on a sidewalk and "did nothing to provoke the animals" and they attacked "for no reason."

"This is a tragic, tragic incident," Fagan said. "It was uncalled for. It was senseless."

Sadly, more bad press for pitties, who are some of the sweetest dogs on the planet. But any dogs running as a pack will act wild if they have never been disciplined.
