A 57-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of another man who was fatally mauled by three dogs in Oakland, police said.
Brendan Burke faces charges for failing to control his dogs —mixed breeds of Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff — that attacked Robert Holguin just before noon on Sunday in the 1600 block of 36th Avenue.Burke, whose dogs had escaped from his yard a day prior, admitted that the dogs do not respond to commands.Animal control officers had previously visited Burke’s home.When Oakland police responded to the scene on Sunday, they found Holguin suffering from multiple dog bites.
Three broke through a fence and dragged Holguin into the backyard and bit him multiple times. KTVU obtained court documents, which state that animal control responded to a report that the victim being attacked by the dogs was underneath a vehicle. A spokesperson for the City of Oakland said the three dogs were euthanized. The three others are now with Oakland Animal Services.
