Residents found the landlord surrounded by several of his dogs after he died.
Dozens of dogs will soon need a new home after animal control officers found them surrounding their owner's body in rural Riverside County.Riverside County Animal Services officers started impounding the dogs after residents at a ranch property in Sky Valley found their landlord dead on Vee Bee Road between Dillon Road and 19th Avenue. Neighbors claimed five great Danes surrounded the man's body when they called authorities.
Officers were concerned some of the animals would suffer heat-related injuries or even death if they kept chasing them around the property. For now, neighbors will try to contain the dogs in a single area while giving them food and water. Organizations partnered with Riverside Animal Services will help transport the dogs to different shelters. On Friday, Wings of Rescue, a nonprofit charity, will fly dozens of them to a Utah shelter.
